Surface Cooking Controls

Your surface units and controls are designed to give you a variety of heat settings for surface unit cooking.

At both LO and Hl positions, there is

a slight niche so control clicks at those

positions; Hl marks the highest setting;

LO, the lowest setting.

In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change in temperature than switching to lower settings.

Cooking Tips

Use medium- or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease.

To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight-fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat, which causes “crazing” (fine hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.
