The Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure 6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.5 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between

2.8(Figure 4) and 1.2 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure

6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels.

Sabbath Feature (Sb) Message

The cooktop display windows will show the Sb message whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Figure 10). When activated, the Sabbath feature works for both the oven and cooktop together. Once the Sabbath feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop heating elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. See Sabbath feature section for complete instructions.
