1.Place the pan on the surface element.

2.Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.

3.The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the element off before removing the pan.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Setting	Type of Cooking
HI (MAX)	Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
5 (MED)	Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam
	vegetables.
2-4 (MED-LOW)	Keep food cooking, poach, stew.
LO (MIN)	Keep warm, melt, simmer.

*The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium thickness aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or

plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too close to the element.
