PRECISE LOW POWER FUNCTION
PRECISE LOW POWER has 3 settings
• Melt
• Warm
• Simmer
The cooktop regulates power levels with precision to maintain
temperature for delicate food items.
MELT
Melt works well for items with low burn points such as chocolate
and butter.
WARM
Warm allows food to stay warm without scorching or drying.
SIMMER
Simmer allows dishes to cook over longer periods at steady low
temperatures.
PRECISE LOW POWER can be used
with single or multiple heaters, bridge
or double heater cooking functions.
When setting the power level, the
Power Curve display will illuminate
1 segment at a time instead of 2 as in
the regular default power level setting.
This indicates that the temperature
control is adjusted for maintaining
the reduced power scale.
NOTE : When using PRECISE LOW POWER, the power
level will alternately flash “L” with the number of the selected
power level (reduced low level 1-9) for the selected heater.
