COOKTOP USE
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The touch-activated electronic controls offer 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.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch-activated
electronic controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a
fast and rapid boil. Touch the "down" arrow keypad to
immediately reach the High setting.
NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the
cooktop controls. The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as

Indicator Lights will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is
restored to the cooktop.
