NOTE: Appearance may vary depending on your model.

Select a knob position near medium or medium low (4 or 5) for a low simmer or when using lids. Select a knob position near medium-high (7 or 8) for a high simmer or when not using lids.

On some models, select either the Single or Dual Zone settings. See “Dual Cooking Zone” section.
