Setting Surface Controls
To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (If equipped)
The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select element as you would any normal surface element on the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select featu re. This featu re allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. This allows you to precisely simmer delicate foods.
You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.
NOTE: The element will not operate if the knob is positioned in the space between MAX and MED.
