NOTE: Picture may vary depending on your model.

2.Push in and turn the left front control knob to a setting anywhere between HI and LO.

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 Watt Element” section.

3.Push the ACCUSIMMER® control switch back to the NORMAL BURNER setting when finished cooking. The indicator light will go out.
