The ACCUSIMMER feature setting is the right front surface cooking area or element, and it can be used as an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering.

The indicator light will glow when the ACCUSIMMER feature setting is on. When the setting is not on, the right front surface cooking area or element will function as usual.

To Use:

1.Press the ACCUSIMMER feature button to turn on.

2.Push in and turn the right front control knob ON between the MAX and MIN settings. Select the MIN range for a low simmer or when using lids and the MAX range for a high simmer or when not using lids.

3.Press the ACCUSIMMER feature button again and turn the knob to OFF when finished cooking.

2.Dual Size (10 in. [25.4 cm])

The Dual Cooking Zone offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

Ceramic Glass

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.

■Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
