Hi Matt, Appreciate your suggestions. You handle it similarly to a stove with standard burners.
I know about the dots - my dial has a "plus" and "minus" feature - you press the plus button and it goes up in heat increments. But since you brought it to my attention I examined the stovetop further and noticed that it beeps when you turn it on and beeps with each increment up or down so you could count beeps. Not ideal but it gets the job done.
