Cooktop Cooking Guide Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:

•type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”),

•type, quantity and temperature of the food,

•element used and

•the cook’s preference.

The Heat Settings recommended are based on a 240 volt power source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but foods may take a little longer to finish cooking.
