Controls - conventional models
As the control knob is turned clockwise, the heat output is increased. Turn the control knob to the High setting to begin cooking and adjust as necessary.
The elements are contolled by variable energy regulators giving infinite control. At the low setting delicate warming, melting chocolate and keeping milk warm at a very low temperature may be carried out. The High setting can be used for boiling or frying. Once your pan is hot, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat and cook food through.

Different types of pots and pans used, like heavy based saucepans, will vary in cooking efficiency. Cooking results are influenced by pot quality and size. It is essential that pot size matches the diameter of the cooking zone. Use flat bottom pots and pans of good quality. Low heat or slow cooking is often due to incorrect pot size. See ‘Cookware’ for more information.
Dual element control
Select the full element by turning the knob anti- clockwise to High. To heat the inner element only, turn clockwise to High.
