Setting the cooktop

 

 

 

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

The cooktop control provides 5 digital display windows to help set power levels for the heating zones located on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob settings except the settings are displayed in LCD style displays.

Available cooktop settings

Your control provides 25 different settings for each heating zone. Some of these power levels include Lo (1%) Fig. 1, 5.0 (medium 50%) Fig. 2, Hi (100%) Fig. 3.

The hi+ and lo- keys provide incremental adjustments for more precise control when changing settings between the lower heat levels (Lo to 3.0 power levels). Higher heat level setting changes (between 3.0 to HI) will change much faster.

Element size indicators

Some cooktop zone positions offer 2 or 3 different element sizes. At these locations, you may choose to use the single inner heating ring only or you may add 1 or 2 more heating rings with each press of the BURNER SIZE key.

The number of circles displayed at the element zone LCD represents the number of heating rings available for that position.

•1 circle = single element

•2 circles = double element (some positions)

•3 circles = triple element (left front position)
