GE JP200, JP201 Cookware Tips, How to Set the Controls, Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

CONTROLS

Your surface units and controls are designed to give you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit cooking.

At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position.

When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat settings you selected are being maintained.

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

How to Set the Controls

1. Grasp the control knob and push down.

2. Turn the knob to the desired heat setting.

The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position. When the control is in any position other than OFF, it may be rotated without pushing in.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

An indicator light will glow when a surface unit is on.

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at medium boil or simmer.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in a covered pan.

LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO settings, melt chocolate and butter on a small surface unit.

NOTE: At HI or Medium High never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch fire.

COOKWARE TIPS

Cookware

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

For best cooking results pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the trim ring more than 1 inch.

Not over 1 inch
