Boost Power Level
Boost mode is only available immediately after
activating a cooking element and
Power Level Indicator. When the cooking element
is set to the Boost mode, the mode operates for
up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking
element automatically returns to the level 9
setting.
Hot Surface Indicator
The hot surface indicator light glows as long as any
surface cooking area is too hot to touch and
appears on the Power Level Indicator.
It remains on after the element is turned off and
until the surface has cooled to approximately 130
°F.
It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on
and off when cooking at lower temperature
settings.
The Recommended Surface Cooking
Setting
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and
then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings may need adjustments,
depending on cookware design and quality and on
the amount of food being prepared.

magnetic base material and that meets the
minimum and maximum pan size requirements.

Power Management
The cooking zones, which consist of paired
cooking elements, are restricted to drawing a
certain maximum amount of power.
If you turn on the Boost function for one element
while its paired element is in use, the Power
Management function may automatically reduce
the power of both elements. For consistent
performance when using multiple elements, use
elements in separate cooking zones.
NOTE
• If the combined heat of the oven and the surface
burners is sufficiently high, the output of the
surface burners is reduced to avoid damage to
the product.
• Both elements in a set of paired elements cannot
use the Boost mode at the same time. To use the
