OPERATION POWER SHARING • Four or five cooktops are divided into two separate cooking areas: the right and left side cooking elements share the power of an inverter. • Power sharing is activated when the cooking elements that are in the same zone are activated. The controls adjust the power automatically for POWER SHARING. This power sharing is administered by the unit’s microprocessors, which will alternate power in one area.
OPERATION RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR • After using the cooktop, the cooking area will remain hot for a few minutes. The digital display will show an “H” to warn the user that the surface is hot to touch. Wait until the “H” is no longer displayed to clean the unit.
