COOKTOP CONTROLS - TOUCH-ACTIVATED MODELS

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When you are melting foods such as
chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking
area can be set to WARM HI for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can
be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch
the "minus" (-) keypad to immediately reach the HI setting.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the "+" or "-" keypads to increase or decrease power.
3. To choose a power level between HI and WARM LO, touch
and hold either the "+" or "-" keypad until the desired level
has been reached.
4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface
cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all
elements off at the same time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
