Surface Cooking

Surface Controls

Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Suggested Heat Settings

The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware Recommen- dations on page 6 and “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

Setting the Controls

1.Place pan on surface element.

2.Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting.

•The control panel is marked to identify which element the knob controls. For example, the graphic at right indicates left front element.

3.There is an element indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface ele- ments are turned off.

4.After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.

Low (2): Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter.

Med. Low (3-4): Use to continue cooking covered foods or steam foods.

High (10): Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

Medium (5-7): Use to maintain slow boil for large amounts of liquids and for most frying operations.

Med. High (8-9): Use to brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or sauteing. Maintain fast boil for large amounts of liquids.

CAUTION

BEFORE COOKING

•Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place.

•NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.

DURING COOKING

•Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

•Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking.

•NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance.

•NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

AFTER COOKING

•Make sure surface unit is turned off.

•Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

OTHER TIPS

•If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Tempera- tures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

•NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.

•NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements.

•NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it.
