For maximum surface cooking area operation, all cooktop touch-
activated electronic controls can be set to the Performance
Boost function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil.
Select the desired surface cooking area, then press “Boost” to
immediately reach the highest setting.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
Control Lock
The Control Lock avoids unintended use of the surface cooking
areas.
If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is off, the
cooktop is locked out, and the surface cooking areas cannot be
turned on by the cooktop touch controls.
If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is on, all
keypads are locked out except for Power and Off.
To Lock Cooktop:
Touch and hold LOCK for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, a tone will
sound and the indicator light above Lock will light, indicating that
the cooktop controls are in the lockout position.
If the cooktop is in use when Control Lock is activated, cooking
will proceed as normal and any timers that have been set will
continue their countdown.
To Unlock Cooktop:
Touch and hold LOCK for 3 seconds.
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 60 seconds after the main power has been
turned on will automatically turn off the power to the cooktop.
If a cooking function or the heat level power slider is 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:
2. Touch directly on the display area for the surface cooking
area you want to use. See A, B, F and G of previous
illustration.
The current power level and indicator light will flash for
10 seconds then remain on.
Touching any other feature or the heat level 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
30 seconds, the surface cooking area will automatically turn
off and display only the middle dash without the indicator
light.
3. Select a heat setting from 1 - 9 by touching/sliding on the
heat level power slider. The heat setting will appear in the
surface cooking area display.
The heat level 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
30 seconds, the zone will automatically turn off and display
only the middle dash without the indicator light.
IMPORTANT: The heat setting for an active cooking area may
be adjusted by a hand or cooking utensil above the heat level
slider even if there is no contact with the cooktop glass. A
beep will sound only if the slider moves to “0” or “Boost,” or if
the cooking area is turned off.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
To Turn Off:
1. Touch OFF to turn off desired surface cooking area. One tone
will sound when Off is pressed.
2. Touch POWER to turn off the cooktop when finished.
Hot Surface Indicator
An “H” will flash in the heat setting display of a surface cooking
area that is too hot to touch, even after that surface cooking area
is turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator “H” will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
