The Simmer function is available on all the surface cooking 
elements. It has an adjustable heat setting for more precise 
simmer control. 

Three levels of simmer are available. The recommended setting 
will vary depending on the quantity and density of the food being 
cooked as well as the size and shape of the cookware being 
used.

1. Touch ON/OFF.

2. Touch the “up” arrow to select the desired simmer setting.

When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface cooking 
area off.

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

The ALL OFF cooktop touch controls turn off all surface cooking 
areas that are in use at the same time.

The Control Lock cooktop touch control prevents unintended use 
of the surface cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out, 
the surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop 
touch controls.

To Lock Cooktop: Press and hold the Control Lock/ALL OFF 
keypad for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, CONTROL LOCK will 
glow red, indicating that the cooktop touch controls are in the 
lockout position.

keypad for 5 seconds.

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 anywhere between HI and 

MELT.
