Hot Surface Indicator Lights
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.
Cooktop Controls - Custom Knobs
Custom Control Temperature Management System
The knob-activated electronic system 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 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 knob-activated electronic
system controls can be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast
and rapid boil.
NOTE: This cooktop automatically adjusts for 208V operation
without affecting cooking performance.
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.
Single and Dual-Size Elements
The Dual-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 size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
