USING THE TOUCH CONTROL

The recommended way to use the touch pads on the cooktop is shown in Fig. 1. Be
sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad as shown. If the finger is
not placed on the center of a pad, the cooktop may not respond to the selection
made.
Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use the
narrow end of your fingertip.
