POWER MODE vs. TEMPERATURE MODE
Switching between Power Mode and Temperature Mode is accomplished by pressing the "MENU"
button.
If a specifi c cooking temperature is not required we suggest using Power mode instead of
Temperature mode. To quickly bring a pot of water to boil, use a higher power level setting or
simply press the "BOIL" button. For frying or browning food, Temperature mode is preferred
because the built-in microprocessor monitors and regulates the cookware temperature to the
preset temperature so your food does not burn. Frying or browning food under Power mode
may overheat the cookware and in some cases extremely high temperatures may damage your
cookware or cooktop. The duxtop has a built-in safety mechanism to detect such situations and
the unit can switch to Temperature mode from Power mode automatically when overheating is
detected. When this happens it is an indication that Temperature mode may be more suitable for
your current cooking task.
Limitations of Temperature mode:
Like all other cooktops with a glass top, the temperature sensor of this unit is located underneath
the glass top. As a result of that and the fact that different cookware yields different cooking
temperatures the temperature readout from this unit is only an estimate of the actual cooking
temperature. The temperature control may not be extremely accurate but it is still a
decent approximation for day-to-day cooking. You may need to test a few times to fi nd the
proper temperature setting for your particular cooking task and cookware.
