could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if

Setting Surface
Controls
To Operate the Surface Element
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when cooking is finished is an
easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-
weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of
pans.
