Locking a burner

Once selected, the burners can be "locked" in order to prevent accidental changing of the settings.

To lock the burners:

^Press the "a" touch control, k, until a dot lights up above it.

To turn the lock off:

^Press the "a" touch control, k, until the dot goes out.

Automatic shut off

If the cooktop is left "On" longer than normal cooking generally requires, it will turn itself off automatically. The amount of time required, between 1 and 10 hours for this feature to activate depends on the power setting selected. The lower the setting, the longer it will take to shut off. In addition, each burner is equipped with a safety thermostat that will shut it off if the ceramic surface should overheat.

All burners can be shut off simultaneously, even if the Control Lock has been activated.

^Press the main "s" touch control, l, until the dot above it goes out.

Keep the area around the touch controls clean at all times. Clean up Boil overs and spills as soon as possible. Dirt or utensils placed on the controls may activate them. Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, as the underlying electronics may be damaged. When cleaning the cooktop, make sure the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not to accidentally turn it "On".
