OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS

The surface heating elements of the appliance are

designed for a variety of heat settings.

At both the HI and LO positions, there are slight

indents and the knob will click into place in these

positions. HI indicates the highest setting. LO

indicates the lowest setting.

A sound of clicking may be heard from the

appliance during use. This is normal and indicates

that the heat setting selected is being maintained.

Changing to a higher heat setting will happen faster

than changing to a lower heat setting as it will take

time for the heat to dissipate.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. Push the control knob in.

2. Turn to the desired heat setting.

The knob only needs to be pushed in when moving

out of the “OFF” position. When the knob is in any

position other than “OFF”, it can be turned without

pushing in.

Ensure that the element is turned off when cooking

is ﬁ nished. An indicator light will glow when any

heating element is turned on.

HEAT SETTING GUIDE

• HI - quick start for cooking; bringing water to a

boil

• MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry; pan broil; maintain a

fast boil on a large amount of food

• MED - Sauté and brown; maintain a slow boil

on a large amount of food

• MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain the serving

temperature of most foods

• LO - Cook after starting at HI; cook with little

water in a covered pan; use to steam rice; melt

chocolate or butter

Never leave food unattended while cooking. Boil

overs cause smoking. Greasy spill overs may catch

ﬁ re.

SURFACE COOKING TIPS

Use medium or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum

cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.

Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to

absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or

medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

if not combined with other metals.

Do not overﬁ ll cookware with fat that may spill over

when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.

Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep

range and hood clean from accumulated grease.

To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should

be ﬂ at on the bottom, have straight sides and tight-

ﬁ tting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the

size of the surface element. A pan that extends more

than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps

heat, which causes “crazing” (ﬁ ne hairline cracks)

on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue

to dark gray on chrome drip pans.
