Before Setting Surface Controls

Cooktop Display Windows

The cooktop controls provide a digital display for each of the

radiant surface elements located on the cooktop. Power levels

and messages are easily monitored and adjusted using the

corresponding control key in combination with the window

displays.

The Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Power

Boost (Pb) to Hi to Lo and OFF (Figure 5). The settings between

9.5 and 3.0 (Figure 6) decrease or increase in increments of .5

(1/2). The settings between 2.8 and 1.2 (Figure 6) are Simmer

settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to

Lo for more precise settings at lower heat levels.

The highest setting Power Boost (Pb) provides the highest

possible power for 10 minutes, and if not changed to a lower

power setting, will automatically lower the power to the HI

setting.

Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)

After using any of the cooking zones on the

cooktop, the glass surface may be hot from residual heat trans-

ferred from the cookware and burns may occur if surface is

touched.

The control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and

displays the message HE (hot element) warning when the

cooktop is still too hot to touch (Figure 7). The HE will remain on

until the cooktop has cooled to a moderate level. If the HE

message appears in the display, the control can still be turned

on again for use.

Sabbath Feature (Sb) Message

The cooktop display windows will show the -- message

whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Figure 8). The oven

control display will show Sab.

When activated, the Sabbath feature locks the cooktop and

only allows oven operation. See “Setting the Sabbath feature

(for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)” on page 30 for

complete instructions.

Pan Sensing

The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface

require that certain cookware conditions are met before the

induction cooking zones can operate. If a cooking zone is

activated and no cookware is detected, then zone display will

flash with the last power level setting (Figure 9). If improper

cookware is used, the cooking zones may not heat.

The conditions that generate a flashing message are illustrated

in “Induction Cookware” on page 9. If the problem or problems

are not corrected, the cooking zone will automatically turn off

after three minutes.

Power Boost Feature

Your induction cooktop is equipped with a power boost (Pb)

feature on each cooking zone. The power boost is used to bring

large quantities of water or food to cooking temperature at the

fastest speed possible. The power boost feature will generate

the highest power for a maximum of 10 minutes, then will

continue to heat at Hi position.

To turn on the power boost feature:

Press ON/OFF for the cooking zone of your choice and press Hi.

To lower the power setting press Lo.

To turn off the power boost press ON/OFF.
