SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Coil surface elements

The cooktop has 4 coil surface element positions (ﬁgure 1).

To Operate the Coil Surface Elements

1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.

2.	Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either
	direction to the desired setting (ﬁgure 2). 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
	mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the
	control knob as needed.
3.	When cooking is completed, turn the surface element	Figure 1
	off before removing the pan.

CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch ﬁre if placed too close to the surface elements.

Surface Cooking Settings

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will inﬂuence the setting needed for best cooking results.
