COOK-TOP USE

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

How to Operate the Surface Elements (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models)

•Place cooking utensil on the surface element.

•Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular setting. Use the setting as a guide and adjust them as needed.

•When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan.

Note: The surface element on indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy way to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

How to Operate Radiant Surface Elements (Ceramic Glass Cook-top Models)

•Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

•Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust them as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

•When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the pan.

Note: The surface element on indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy way to be sure all surface elements are turned off. The hot surface indicator light will continue to glow after the control knob is turned to the OFF position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

CAUTION Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
