The dual size surface cooking area offers flexibility to cook using
different sizes of cookware. Single size can be used in the same
way as a regular surface cooking area. The dual size combines
inner and outer surface cooking areas and is recommended for
larger cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.
A. Single size
B. Dual size
The dual size surface cooking area comprises two cooking areas.
If the size of the pan is the same as the single size surface
cooking area, the cooking area will work as a single size cooking
area.
If the pan is slightly larger than the single size cooking area, it
may only activate part of the dual size cooking area. This will
result in the burner being less efficient and increase the heating
time.
If the size of the pan is the same as the dual size surface cooking
area, the dual size cooking area will activate automatically.
The Cooktop Power Off key turns off all surface cooking areas at
once.
Touch and hold COOKTOP POWER OFF until the indicator goes
out. This turns off all the surface cooking areas. The hot surface
indicator "H" stays on the display until the surface cooking areas
have cooled down.
The Control Lock turns off and disables all surface cooking areas
that are in use at the same time.
The Control Lock avoids unintended use of the surface cooking
areas. When the cooktop is locked out, the surface cooking areas
cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch controls.
To Lock Cooktop: Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for
5 seconds. After 5 seconds, CONTROL LOCK will glow red,
indicating that the cooktop controls are in the lockout position.
To Unlock Cooktop: Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for
5 seconds.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The keep warm function can be used to keep cooked foods
warm.
When the keep warm function is in use, "h" will appear on the
display.
