Simmer Select Surface Unit Control

After turning a Radiant Surface Unit OFF, be careful not to touch either unit until it has had enough time to COOL. Surface Units will turn dark in color after they have been turned off and burns may occur if the units are touched at this time.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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 unit.

When using the Simmer Select feature the element will not glow red when it is hot.

To Operate Radiant Surface Unit

1.Place cooking utensil on the surface element.

2.Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired setting. 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. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit.

3.When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The hot cooktop surface light will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to off and will glow until the element has cooled sufficiently.

To Operate Dual Radiant Surface Unit (If equipped)

Set the rocker switch to the desired coil size. Indicates inner coil only.

Indicates both inner and outer coils operate. You may switch from either

coil setting at any time during cooking. Push in and turn the Control Knob in either direction to the desired setting as instructed above.

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Unit (If equipped)

The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select unit as you would any normal surface unit on the medium to high settings.

The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature. This feature allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface unit. This allows you to precisely simmer delicate foods.

You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.

NOTE: The unit will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between MAX and MED.

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