SURFACE UNIT CONTROLS

At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the surface units at the heat level or power level you set.

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

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to a boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.

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

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

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

LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 surface units turned on, surface temperatures are high, so be careful when touching the cooktop.

The HOT SURFACE light will glow when the cooktop is hot to the touch.

NOTE:

●At HI or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave f’ood unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch fire.

●At LO or MEDIUM LOW, melt chocolate, butter on small element.

c When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the Cooking Tips section.

●It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool. Hot cookware will not damage the surface.
