Power Level; Cooking Tips - Whirlpool Wcit7536Sb Control Manual

Activating/Deactivating Cooking Zones and
Adjusting Power Levels
To activate the cooking zones:
� Activate the desired zone by pressing the
button.
� Place your finger on the slider of the zone and gently slide it
horizontally to the right to increase the power level or, to the
left to decrease the power level.
� You will notice that the slider segments will turn to high
luminosity based on the selected power level and the
corresponding display will show the power level selected
(ranging 1 to 18).
� The "P" button can be used to select the Power Boost to
quickly boil water.
To deactivate the cooking zones:
� Press the zone ON/OFF button.
NOTE: Water spillage, food overflow and/or object positioned on
the control panel buttons can mimic one's finger, which can
activate or deactivate any of the cooktop buttons. If such presence
is not removed within 8 seconds, OFF is displayed on the zone
and the cooktop will automatically switch off while producing a
sound.
Control Panel Lock
The control panel lock function is designed to lock the cooktop,
thus avoiding changing any setting. This function is
recommended during cleaning of the glass. To activate the control
panel lock, press and hold the
button will switch to high luminosity, and a light above the symbol
will indicate that this function has been activated. To unlock the
cooktop, press again the button for 3 seconds. You can only
deactivate it if the cooktop is ON.
NOTE: When the control panel lock function is active, no other
function can be activated. If you try to interact with the product, the
button will blink. You can still switch the product on and off.
Residual Heat
If "Hot" appears on the display of a cooking zone, this means that
the cooking zone is hot. The indicator might light up even if the
zone has not been used, but has been heated due to the adjacent
zones' use or because a hot pot has been placed on it. When the
cooking zone has cooled down, the "Hot" disappears.
Pot Incorrectly Positioned or Missing
The symbol appears if the pot is not suitable for induction cooking,
is not positioned correctly or is not of an appropriate size for the
cooking zone selected. If no pot is detected within 30 seconds, the
cooking zone will switch off.

Power Limitation
At the time of purchase, the cooktop is set to the maximum power.
NOTE: Depending on the power limitation level selected, some of
the functions could be automatically limited to keep the selected
limit from being exceeded. Example: if you set the Power
Limitation setting of your cooktop to 4 kW, it will not be possible to
activate the Power Boost on more than one zone at a time.

Power Boost "P"
Boost is a special mode with a higher power than level 18, that
allows water to boil the fastest. This mode can be maintained for a
maximum time of 10 minutes, depending on the zone used (refer
to table below). After this time the power will be automatically
reduced to level 18.
IMPORTANT: Do not use with an empty pan or oil/butter. This
function is intended for boiling water.
NOTE: If you set one cooking zone to Power Boost and then
activate another zone, the first one might be reduced to level 18,
to allow the second one to be used. The second cooking zone
may as well be limited based on the remaining power available.
