First use or after a power failure:
After connecting the cooktop to an electrical power supply or
after a power failure, the control panel will be locked. An indicator
light above the key icon will be on. To unlock the control panel,
press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds. The indicator
light will turn off, and the cooktop is ready for use.
To Use
To Turn On the Cooktop:
1. Press POWER.
The indicator light above the Power keypad and a dash (“-”)
in each surface cooking area will light to indicate that each
surface cooking area is ready to be activated.
Inactivity for 1 minute after the main power has been turned
on will automatically turn off the power to the cooktop.
If a cooking function or the power slider are touched without
first selecting a surface cooking area, all dashes (one for each
zone) will flash and an invalid tone will sound 3 times.
To Turn On a Surface Cooking Area:
1. Touch directly on the display area for the surface cooking
area you want to use.
The current power level and indicator light will flash for
10 seconds then remain on.
Touching any other feature or the power slider stops the
flashing and information for the keypad that was touched will
be displayed.
When a surface cooking area is selected, the timer will also
turn on to show that it can now be set.
When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for
1 minute, the surface cooking area will automatically turn off
and display only the middle dash without the indicator light.
2. Select a heat setting from 1 - 9 by touching/sliding on the
power slider. The heat setting will appear in the surface
cooking area display.
The power slider consists of 9 positions plus a “Boost”
position. When the user slides to 0, “0” will be displayed. The
surface cooking area will not turn on but remains active/
selected.
When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for
1 minute, the zone will automatically turn off and display only
the middle dash without the indicator light.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
To Turn Off:
1. Touch ON/OFF to turn off desired surface cooking area,
1 tone will sound when Off is pressed.
2. Touch POWER to turn off the cooktop when finished.
Hot Surface Indicator
An “H” will appear in the heat setting display as long as any
surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface
cooking area(s) is turned off.
Dual Size Surface Cooking Area
(on some models)
The dual size surface cooking area offers flexibility to cook using
different sizes of cookware. Single size can be used in the same
way as a regular surface cooking area. The dual size combines
inner and outer surface cooking areas and is recommended for
larger cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.
The dual size surface cooking area contains two cooking areas.
If the size of the pan is the same as the single size surface
cooking area, the cooking area will work as a single size cooking
area.
If the pan is slightly larger than the single size cooking area, it
may activate only part of the dual size cooking area. This will
result in the burner being less efficient and will increase the
heating time.
If the size of the pan is the same as the dual size surface cooking
area, the dual size cooking area will activate automatically.
