Cooktop Operation

Rapid Precise (Probe Sync Required): 

The cooktop sets to this mode when intially turned on and the Paragon Probe 

is synced

. In this mode, 

the cooktop can precisely control the temperature when the probe tip is submerged. The burner will

temperature.

 Use for Sous Vide or Poaching.

Direct (Default): 

In this mode, the cooktop acts like a standard induction burner, allowing you to do things like boil, sear 

and sautee all of your favorite dishes, selecting from power level 1-10. The Paragon Probe is not used

Gentle Precise (Probe Sync Required): 

Similiar to Rapid precise in it’s ability to control the temperature of your food, but within this mode the 

cooktop limits power so the temperature is reached at a slower pace, ensuring food is not overcooked.

The burner will automatically vary power level so your food will maintain the desired temperature. Use 

this method for more delicate food such as Clam Chowder or thick sauces.  It is recommended that you 

still occasionally stir to prevent burning.

Safety Note: It is recommended that operation be supervised when cooking at high temperatures. After 30 minutes of inactivity in

flash and beep. Press the “Start” button to continue cooking at the current power settings. If “Start” is not pressed after 1 minute, the 

cooktop will default to Direct Mode at power level 6 as a “safe mode”. After 6 hours in this mode the cooktop will shut off.
