WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The electronic touch 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 & HOLD for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can be set to HI when bringing liquids to a rapid boil. Touch the “down” arrow to immediately reach the HI setting.
