Operating surface elements

-Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the element or the area surrounding the element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

-Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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 surface elements.

•Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls, or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.

To operate surface elements:

1.Place correctly sized cooking utensil on surface element.

2.Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish. 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 (Fig. 1). Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. For more information see the Suggested surface element settings table (Fig. 2).

3.When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

The element on indicator light(s) will glow when one or more surface elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when finished surface

cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned OFF.
