USING THE HEATERS
TURN ON HEATERS

keypad. A tone will sound, and the Hot
Surface/ON Indicator Light will blink.

10 seconds after the last keypad is touched (ON, Power Slider

POWER LEVEL SELECTION
Select desired power level by
sliding finger across the Power
Slider Bar, moving toward the right to increase power level.
The selected power level will be shown in the Power Level
Digital Display of the heater and in the Power Curve display in
the center of the cooktop display. The lights on the Power Curve
display illuminate 2 segments at a time as the power level is
selected. (See section PRECISE LOW POWER for information
on specific temperature control for delicate foods.)
Lowest Power Level Setting - 1
Highest Power Level Setting - 9
A power level between 1 and 9 must be selected regardless of any
other keypad pressed (e.g., the BRIDGE or TIMER +/- keypads).
If no power level is selected, the heater will automatically turn
OFF in 10 seconds.
NOTE:
• If two or more finger touches are detected, the selector will
default to the highest power setting.

be locked.

After power level is selected, a tone will sound, the Hot Surface/
ON Indicator Light will stop blinking and remain on. Touch the
heater ON keypad again to accept the level and begin cooking,
or select Bridge, Double, Speed Boil or Precise Low (see Auto
Features section for details on these functions).
If no other keypad is touched within 10 seconds, the power level
will be accepted automatically. If another heater is selected, the
power level will be accepted on the current heater automatically.
