power slider. The heat setting will appear in the surface cooking
area display.
The power slider consists of 9 positions plus a "Boost"
position. When the user slides to 0, "0" will be displayed. The
surface cooking area will not turn on but remains active/
selected.
When a surface cooking area is left at the "0" power level for
30 seconds, the zone will automatically turn off and display
only the middle dash without the indicator light.
IMPORTANT: The heat setting for an active cooking area may
be adjusted by a hand or cooking utensil above the heat level
slider even if there is no contact with the cooktop glass. A beep
will sound only if the slider moves to "0" or "Boost," or if the
cooking area is turned off.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
