Using the Touch Control
The recommended way to use the touch pads on the cooktop is shown in Figure 1.
Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad as shown. If the
finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the cooktop may not respond to the
selection made.
Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use the
narrow end of your fingertip.
