Using the Touchpads

•A double beep will sound if a programming error occurs.

Canning and Oversize

Cookware

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner. Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

Important: Four seconds after pressing the ▲ or ▼ pad, the time or temperature will automatically be entered. If more than 30 seconds elapse between touching a function pad and the ▲ or ▼ pad, the function will be canceled and the display will return to the previous display.

Setting the Clock

1. Press the CLOCK pad.

•The clock time cannot be set if the control is programmed for a bake, broil or timing operation.

2.Set the correct time of day using the ▲ or ▼ pads. If the ▲ or ▼ pad is not pressed within 30 seconds, the program will cancel. Press the CLOCK pad and begin again.

Setting the Timer

The timer can be set from one minute (:01) up to 99 hours and 59 minutes (99:59). Time will be displayed in minutes and not in seconds. THE TIMER DOES NOT CONTROL THE OVEN.

1.Press the TIMER pad.

•0:00 will light and the colon (:) will flash in the display.

2.Press the ▲ or ▼ pad until the desired time is displayed.

•The timer will begin as soon as the time is set.

•The flashing colon indicates that a timing operation is in progress. (The colon will not flash if the time of day or oven temperature is displayed.)

•Two short beeps signal the end of the operation. “0:00” will appear in the display.

•If desired, press the CLOCK pad and the time of day will briefly reappear in the display during a timing operation.
