Cooktop Control Pads
Using the Touch Control
Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch
pad. 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 fiat part of your entire
fingertip. Do not just use the narrow end of your fingertip.

To power the cooktop, touch and hold the POWER key pad
for 2 seconds. A beep will sound and the Power LED will glow
(Fig. 12). The cooktop will be in a ready mode for 10 seconds.
If no other key pads are touched the Cooktop Main POWER
will turn OFF automatically.
To turn the Main Power OFF touch and hold the Main POWER
key pad for 1 second. A beep will sound and the Power LED

Controls Lock Pad
This feature allows the cooktop to be locked only when the
cooktop is switched to OFF.
To turn ON the Controls Lock feature, touch and hold the
LOCK key pad for 3 seconds. A beep will sound and the
Lock LED will glow (Fig. 14). Once locked, no other displays
will glow and no Cooking Zones will activate (Except the hot
surface message “HE” if the zone is hot).
To turn the Controls Lock OFF, touch and hold the LOCK key
pad for 3 seconds. A beep will sound, the Lock LED will turn
OFF (Fig. 13) and the cooktop may be used normally.
Minute Timer
The Minute Timer feature may be useful in the kitchen if
a recipe calls for keeping track of time. This feature will
keep track of time from 1 to 99 minutes. The Alpha-Numeric
display located to the left of the Timer UP/DOWN arrow
key pads will begin to count down minutes once set.
To Set the Minute Timer:
1. Set the cooktop timer to the desired time by touching
the /V I isted under the word “TIMER”. Touching and
releasing the or the key pads will increase or
decrease the Minute Timer setting by 1 minute with each
key press (up to S3 minutes). You may also hold the or
X/ key to slew the time to your designated time.
2. Once the Timer Alpha-Numeric displays the desired
amount of time, release the /\ or \/ Arrow key pads.
The timer will display the time remaining in minutes within
the countdown process. During the last 60 seconds, the
timer will countdown in seconds.
Note: After the timer is set, it is normal for the displayed
value to automatically go down by one minute. This is
due to the fact that the display only shows the minutes
remaining and does not show the countdown process in
the back ground. For example when setting the timer for
3 minutes, the timer will start counting down at 02 min 59
seconds, but the timer display will only show 03 minutes,
not the remaining seconds.
Once the Minute Timer reaches 00 a long beep will sound
every 5 seconds until and \/ key pads are touched at
the same time and the timer Alpha-Numeric display will
flash “00" indicating that the time is up.
To Cancel the Minute Timer:
At any time to cancel the minute
timer, press the Timer Set/Off
pad.

stylish. Three methods of setting these controls are available
for a better ease of use.
