SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Surface cooking settings

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the surface element power level setting needed for best cooking results.

Use Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.

NOTE

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

Table 1: Recommended settings for surface elements

Setting	Type of Cooking

HIGH (HI)	Start most foods; bring water to a boil and
	pan broiling.

MEDIUM	Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat
HIGH (8-10)	frying

MEDIUM (6)	Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and
	gravies; steaming vegetables

Medium	Keep foods cooking; poaching and
LOW (2-4)	stewing

LOW (LO)	Keep warm, melting and simmering

NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

IMPORTANT

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

NOTE

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

The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Refer to Table 1 for suggested power level settings.
