COOKTOP CONTROLS - TOUCH-ACTIVATED CONTROLS

Cooktop Controls

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 you are melting foods such as chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can be set to Power Level 1 for minimal element operation.

For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch Power Level 9 to immediately reach the highest setting.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not place any object over the controls. If something is placed over the controls, a gentle “beep” will sound as a reminder to promptly remove it.

After 20 seconds, an “F1E0” error code will display. This is the control board locking itself to avoid damage from an object placed upon it. To use the cooktop again, disconnect from power or reset the circuit breaker. See “Cooktop is displaying F1E0 code” in the “Troubleshooting” section.

Be sure to lock the cooktop using the Control Lock option (see the “Control Lock” section) when cleaning around the controls. If the cooktop is not locked, and an “F1E0” error code appears, reset the circuit breaker.
