Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)

To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)

The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats the element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control for normal cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.

To Start Simmer Select:

1.Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.

2.Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob. The Simmer Select indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 1).

3.Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (See Recommended Settings for Simmer Select Surface Element on previous page).

4.To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn OFF. When cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon hoJders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
