Using Your Range

Using the surface units

Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can be set any- where 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.

Surface unit indicator light

The surface unit indicator light 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 light is OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is acciden- tally 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.

Use MED-HIto hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.

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

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

Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve. Set the heat higher or lower within the LO band to keep food at the temperature you want.
