KitchenAid KESS907XSP User Guide

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the 
cooktop touch controls. The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will 
glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, 
even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.

The knob-activated electronic system controls offer a variety of 
heat settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods 
such as chocolate or butter, the surface cooking area can be set 
to MELT for minimal element operation.

To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the 
surface cooking area can be set to WARM.

For maximum element operation, all knob-activated electronic 
system controls can be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast 
and rapid boil.

NOTE: This cooktop automatically adjusts for 208V operation 
without affecting cooking performance.

1. The cooktop control can be set to anywhere between HI and 

MELT.

2. Push in and turn to desired setting.

Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

The Dual-Size Elements offer flexibility depending on the size of 
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a 
regular element. The dual size combines both the single and 
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
