Using the surface units

Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can be set anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface unit indicator light

One of the surface unit indicator lights on the control panel will glow when a surface unit is on.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and the indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could star-f if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to a boil. When cooking foods, turn to LO or MED- LO when sizzle starts.

Use MED-HI to hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes. Turn to LO or MED-LO when sizzle starts.

Use MED for gravy, puddings and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables. Turn to LO to finish cooking.

Use MED-LO to keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.

Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve.

Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the HI setting for long periods of time or leave pans on hot elements when cooking is done. Burned food and damage to the cookware could result.
