Setting Surface Controls 17 Setting the Wave-Touch™ cooktop Setting cooktop elements • If needed, wake the control panel. • Touch the ON OFF key for the desired heating zone. • If the heating zone has more than one burner ring size available, press and continue to press the BURNER SIZE key for the desired heating zone to change the ring size. • Press the desired power level key (hi+, med or lo-) or for more precise level settings use the hi+ or lo- keys to make specific level changes. Hot Element (HE) Message After using any of the radiant element positions the ceramic cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control off, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. • Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. • Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. The cooktop control monitors the temperature of the cooktop surface and displays a message "HE" (hot element) and flashes the burner rings when the cooktop is still too hot to touch -Fig. 1-. If the HE message remains displayed in the LED, the heating zone may be set again and used for cooking.
