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

Surface Unit Markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooklng. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally

left ON.

Untti 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. Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on unit.

Cookware

There is no one brand of utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.

1. Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. To check the flatness of a utensil:

Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.

Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.

2.The pan should have straight sides and a tight:fitting lid.

3.Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.
