COOKTOP CONTROLS - CUSTOM CONTROLS

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The Custom Control system offers a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate
or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can
be set to MELT for minimal element operation.
To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the
surface cooking area can be set to WARM.
For maximum element operation, all Custom Controls can be set
to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
To Use:
1. The cooktop control can be set to anywhere between HI and
MELT.
2. Push in and turn to desired setting.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
