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 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 4 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 D, E, I and J of previous illustration.
The current power level and indicator light will flash for
10 seconds, and 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
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" through "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
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.
