ELEMENT ON indicator Lights

ELEMENT ON

Your range is equipped with surface control indicator lights that will glow on your range--the ELEMENT ON indicator lights (See illustration at left).

The ELEMENT ON is located on the control panel and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.

1.Place cooking utensil on the surface element.

Push in and turn the surface control knob either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

When cooking is completed, turn the surface element OFF before removing the pan. Note: The surface "ELEMENT ON" indicator light(s) will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off. See chart below for recommended control settings for different types of foods.

The suggested settings found in the table below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
