COOKTOP CONTROLS - CUSTOM CONTROLS
The Custom Control system offers a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate
or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can
be set to MELT for minimal element operation.
To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the
surface cooking area can be set to WARM.
For maximum element operation, all Custom Controls can be set
to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
To Use:
1. The cooktop control can be set to anywhere between HI and
MELT.
2. Push in and turn to desired setting.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the
cooktop control knobs. The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow
as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even
after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator Lights will remain on after the power is restored to the
cooktop. They will remain on until the cooktop has cooled
completely.
Power Light
Each cooktop has a Power On light. The light will glow when any
burner is on.
