Safety Features 

Intentional Touch™:

When no burners are activated, touching multiple keys at the same 

time will not initiate any functions.  This prevents un-intentional or accidental use by children or 
pets.  When burners are activated, a multiple key touch that includes the off key for the activated 
burner will deactivate that burner.  Should this happen, simply use the recall 

 function to 

regain your previous setting. 
 

Automatic Lock Feature

: 

To operate the cooktop it must first be unlocked by touching the 

lock key  for two seconds.  This is an added feature to protect against misuse.  If the cooktop 
has not been used for a period of 10 minutes after all burners have been shut off, the cooktop will 
automatically re-enter lock mode.  If you find the Automatic Lock unnecessary, you may disable 
it by touching the lock key and the recall key at the same time for three seconds.   
 

One Touch Off

: 

Touching the lock key for one second will deactivate all burners.  This is 

useful if you have an emergency or if you need to leave the cooktop for an unknown period of 
time to either answer the door, the phone, or deal with a child for example.  The recall key is 
useful in regaining your settings after the situation has been handled. 
 

Hot-lights

:  

3/8”

hot-lights are located at the bottom of each burner to indicate that the burner 

is too hot to touch.  The lights will remain on until the glass is safe to touch, even after the burner 
has been turned off.  
 

Limit Switches

: 

Limit switches are located in each of the radiant ribbon burners.  In the event 

that the glass above the burner reaches an unacceptable temperature the limit switch will cycle 
the burner off briefly.  

Water Control

: 

Nearly all of the current touch control systems are unable to operate through 

even a film of water.  This is not the case with the Dial Series touch controls.   In the event that 
you spill water over the controls, the keys will still be usable.  In the event that you spill a 
substance that is conductive in nature (salted water, for example) the off key of each burner and 
the lock key will still function.  This eliminates the panic of not being able to operate your unit in 
the event of a spill. 
 

Safe Mode

: 

This feature is intended for demonstration purposes in a showroom or model 

home.  Entering safe mode by touching the ‘0’ and the ‘H’ simultaneously for 5 seconds allows 
the controls to be used but deactivates all of the burners. (fan functions remain active) This same 
combination reactivates the controls.
