TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your cooktop offers a wide range of temperature settings from delicate, slow cooking
to the intense hot temperatures needed for boiling and searing. As the control knob
is turned clockwise, the heat output is increased. Turn the control knob to the HI
setting to begin cooking and adjust as necessary.
The elements are controlled by variable energy regulators giving infinite control. There
is no ‘stop’ at the LO marking; this is to allow you to experiment at finding the
minimum heat (the power level drops off rapidly to zero below the LO marking). The
HI setting is ideal for boiling, searing or frying. For general cooking purposes turn the
control knob to the HI setting to begin cooking and adjust as necessary. Once your
pan is hot, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food
through.
Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish cooking. You will feel a click at
the OFF position.
Cooking efficiency will vary due to the different types of cooking utensils used.
Cooking results are influenced by pot quality and size. You will need to experiment
with the temperature settings to match your desired cooking result. It is essential
that pot size matches the diameter of the cooking zone. Use flat bottom utensils of
good quality. Poor performance is often due to incorrect pot size.
