SURFACE CONTROLS

At both OFF and HI positions, there is a slight niche so control “clicks” at those positions; the word HI marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is the word LO. In a quiet kitchen you may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the heat settings selected are being maintained.

Switching to higher heat settings always shows a quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.

How to Set the Controls

1.Push the control knob in.

2.Turn either clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired heat setting.

The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be turned without pushing it in.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

The left surface unit indicator light will glow when either the left front or rear surface units are on. The right surface unit indicator light will glow when either the right front or rear surface units are on.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.

OFF

 

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on large amounts of food.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in covered pan.

LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO settings, melt chocolate and butter on small surface unit.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface indicator light will remain lit after the surface units are off until the surface is cool enough to touch.

NOTE:

At HI, Medium High settings, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch on fire.

When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the Surface Cookware Tips section.
