Introduction
The 2015 Electric Cooktops have been totally redesigned. For service, this means the complete removal of
the cooktop from its installation for repairs.
New Consumer Features (on some models):
• Backlit knobs
• Multiple timers
• Sync burners control two 7 inch elements simultaneously to evenly heat large cookware or griddles
• Custom setting allows consumer options on sound levels, LED brightness and more
On Café and Monogram, an accessory kit is available for consumers that want to use “Sous Vide”* cooking.
The Precision Cooking Probe communicates with the control board via the Bluetooth module to maintain
proper temperature for Sous Vide cooling.
*French for "under vacuum“: Sous vide is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in an FDA approved
airtight plastic bag and then placed in a temperature regulated water bath. The food is cooked much longer
than traditional cooking times at temperatures much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around
125°F to 150°F for meat and even higher for vegetables. This cooking method will cook the food item evenly,
ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and will retain moisture.
