COOKTOP CONTROLS
TOUCH-ACTIVATED ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODELS
The electronic touch controls offer 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 & HOLD for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can
be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch
the minus (-) keypad to immediately reach the HI setting.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the “plus” (+) or “minus” (-) keypads to increase or
decrease power.
3. To choose a power level between HI and MELT & HOLD,
touch and hold either the “+” or “-” keypad until the desired
level has been reached.
4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface
cooking area(s) individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn off all
elements at the same time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Hot Surface Indicator Lights (on Touch Control models)
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the
cooktop touch controls. 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.
Dual/Triple Circuit Element
The dual-size and triple-size elements offer flexibility depending
on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same
way as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine
single, dual and outer element and are recommended for larger
cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.
