Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. On some models, the surface cooking area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING	RECOMMENDED USE
HI	■	Start food cooking.
	■ Bring liquid to a boil.
Medium High	■	Hold a rapid boil.
6-8	■	Quickly brown or sear food.
Medium	■	Maintain a slow boil.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

NOTE: On self-cleaning models, the cooktop will not operate when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.
