COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls - Touch-Activated
Custom Control Temperature Management System
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate or
butter, the surface cooking area can be set to Melt for very low
temperature operation.
To keep cooked foods warm, the surface cooking area can be set
to Keep Warm.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch-activated
controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a fast and
rapid boil. Touch the “-” pad to immediately reach the High setting
after touching On. For elements with a Boost setting, press “+” to
go from High to Boost.
To Use Single-Size Elements:
1. Touch ON.
2. Touch the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease power.
3. To choose a power level between High and Melt, touch and
hold either pad until the desired level has been reached.
4. When finished cooking, touch OFF.
NOTE: Boost power level can be selected only for the left and right
front surface areas.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. Some
of the settings will have multiple heating levels as indicated in the
following table.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle
off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop
from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change
color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will
return to its original color.
