ACCUSIMMER® Feature

The ACCUSIMMER® Feature setting is an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering. It is the left front surface cooking area or element. The indicator light will glow when the ACCUSIMMER® Feature is in use.

The ACCUSIMMER® Feature has two settings: SIMMER and NORMAL BURNER. When the switch is set on NORMAL BURNER, the left front surface cooking area or element will function as a single or dual element (on some models).

To use:

1.Press the ACCUSIMMER® switch to the SIMMER position. The indicator light will glow.

2.Push in and turn the left front control knob to a setting between LO and 5. Select LO for a low simmer or when using lids and 5 for a high simmer or when not using lids.

On some models, select either the Single or Dual Zone settings. (See “Dual Watt Element” section.)

3.Press the ACCUSIMMER® switch back to the Normal Burner setting when finished cooking. The indicator light will go out.

KeepWarm Element

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Use the Keep Warm Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods.

The Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.

The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm Element area is too hot to touch.

■Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

■Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

■Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.

■Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

Ceramic Glass

(on some models)

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

■Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
