ABSTRACT:
A cooking appliance includes a cooktop having a heating zone including an associated heating element, as well as a control element for setting a desired cooking temperature for the heating zone. When the control element is rotated from a home position across a temperature adjustment zone in a first direction, the heating element is operated at a low voltage setting and, when the control element is rotated from the home position in a second direction, the heating element is operated at a second, higher voltage setting. The control element includes a rotary shaft coupled to a voltage selector and an infinite control switch. With this arrangement, a consumer can cook delicate food items at infinitely adjustable low power cooking settings, as well as cook at a substantially infinite number of higher power settings, through the use of a single control element.
