BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Cooktop display windows
Located on the backguard are digital displays for each of the heating positions located on the cooktop. Surface element power levels can easily be controlled and monitored using these displays in combination with the corresponding control keypads.
The triple element (some models) feature provides 3 different size settings to choose from a single location on the cooktop.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and Off (Fig. 7). The Hi setting is the highest available heat level.
The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) may be adjusted in increments of .5 (1/2).
The settings between 2.8 (Figs. 4) and 1.2 (Fig. 5) are simmer settings which may be adjusted in increments of .2 for more precise heat levels.
Lo (Fig. 6) is the lowest heat level available.
Use the "Suggested power level settings table" provided later in this section to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.
Hot surface window message (HE)
After using any radiant element the cooktop will be very hot. Even after turning the elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time afterwards. The corresponding HE (hot element - Fig. 8) message will remain ON and turn OFF once that element position on the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7).
Lock window message ( - - )
The (-
Sabbath feature (Sb) message
The display windows will show the Sb message whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Fig. 10). When activated, the Sabbath feature works for both the oven and cooktop opertations
Once the Sabbath feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not appear in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. See "Setting the Sabbath feature" for complete instructions.
