ACCUSIMMER® Feature
(onsomemodels)
The ACCUSIMMER® feature setting is an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering.
The ACCUSIMMER® control knob has two settings: Simmer and Normal. When the control is set on Normal, the element will function as a single, a dual, or a triple element.
When the ACCUSIMMER control knob is set on Simmer, the cooking area will not glow red. This is normal. Only the outer heating ring will glow red on the triple circuit element when medium or high simmer is selected.
To Use:
1.Turn the ACCUSIMMER® control knob to the SIMMER position.
2.Push in and turn control knob to a setting between Low and High setting.
Select Low for a low simmer or when using lids and medium for a high simmer or when not using lids. Select either the Single, Dual, or Triple Zone setting. Increase heat as necessary to achieve desired simmer. (See “Dual/Triple- Circuit Element” section.)
3.Turn the ACCUSIMMER® control knob back to the NORMAL setting when finished cooking.
COOKTOP USE
Ceramic Glass
(onsomemodels)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and attention. Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.
■Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
■To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
■For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
■Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
■To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
■To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
