Before Setting Surface Controls
Cooktop display windows
The cooktop display features provide a digital display for
each of the cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power
levels and messages are easily controlled and monitored
using the window displays in combination with the
corresponding control touch pads.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from
Pb (Fig. 1), Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig. 3) and OFF (Fig. 4).
The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 5) and 3.0 (Fig. 6) decrease
or increase in .5 increments.
The settings between 3.0 and 1.2 (Fig. 7) are simmer
settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 for
more precision at lower heat levels.
Use the "Suggested power level settings table" provided in
Setting Surface Controls section to determine the correct
setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Power level settings
When setting an induction cooking zone to the highest
level, the display will show Pb (Power Boost) power level
for up to 10 minutes (See Fig. 1). After 10 minutes the
cooking zone will automatically lower to the Hi (Fig. 2)
setting. The Pb setting is only available immediately after
activating a cooking zone and pressing the Hi power level
keypad.
Hot surface window message (HE)
After using any of the induction cooking zones the cooktop
may become very hot. After turning any of the cooking
zones OFF, the cooktop may remain hot for some time.
The corresponding HE (hot element) message may turn ON
indicating one or more of the cooking zones are HOT. This
message will turn OFF once the affected cooking zones
have cooled sufficiently (See Fig. 8).
Cooktop Lock window message ( - - )
The (- -) message will appear whenever the Cooktop Lock
feature is active (See Fig. 9). Refer to the Cooktop Lock
instructions for more details. When the Sabbath Day
feature is activated, the cooktop displays will show the
Cooktop Lock message for all cooking zones.
