How does the Infinite Switch or Stepless Control Work? The Infinite switch uses what is called a Bi-metal switch to control the switch action. The Bi-metal switch physically moves through the process of heating and cooling. This movement causes the main switch contacts to open and close, thereby, controlling the power applied to the heating elements. Rotating of the infinite switch changes the relationship of the "on" and "off" times or duty cycle. As the switch is rotated to a higher heat setting the main contacts remain closed for a longer period of time. Conversely, rotating the switch to a lower heat setting causes the main contacts to remain closed for a shorter period of time.
It should be noted that when the switch is rotated to the Max or High position it is "locked on" and does not cycle.
