Setting Surface Controls Radiant element power level display windows The radiant element power level display feature provides a digital display for each of the heating positions located on the cooktop. Power levels are easily controlled and monitored using the window displays in combination with the corresponding control touch pads. The Triple radiant heating element has 3 cooking sizes to select from. This feature allows you to match the size of the element to the size of the cookware you are using. Available power level settings The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and OFF (Fig. 7). The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The Med (medium) setting is 5.0. The settings between 2.8 (Figs. 4) and 1.2 (Fig. 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo (Fig. 6) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the "Recommended Surface Settings Table" provided later in this section to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing. Hot surface window message (HE) After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will be very hot. After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The corresponding HE (hot element-Fig. 8) message will remain ON and turn OFF once that element position on the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7). Cooktop Lockout window message ( - - ) The (- -) message will appear whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is active. The cooktop features will not operate during a Flex Clean cycle (See Fig. 9). Refer to the Oven Lockout instructions additional lockout features. Sabbath Day feature (Sb) message The display windows will show the Sb message whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 10). When activated, the Sabbath Day feature works for both the oven and cooktop together. Once the Sabbath Day feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. See "Setting the Sabbath Day feature" for complete instructions. Fig. 3 m Fig. 5 // Fig. 7 // Fig. 9 Fig. 2 Fig. 4 B Fig. 6 Fig. 8 Fig. 10 12
