Setting Surface Controls for Models with Coil Elements

Surface Unit Control

Simmer Select Surface Unit Control

To Operate the Surface Element

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.

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.

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.
