SURFACE COOKING
Your surface units and controls are designed to
give you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface
unit cooking.
At both OFF and HI, the control “clicks” into position.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight ‘‘clicking’’
sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings
selected are being maintained.
Switching to higher heat settings always shows a
quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the desired heat setting.
Be sure you turn the control to OFF when you finish cooking.
The surface unit indicator light will glow when ANY heat on any
surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to a
boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED—Saute and brown; keeps food at a medium
boil or simmer.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to
tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt
butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.
NOTE:
• The surface indicator light may glow between LO
and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.
• At HI or Medium High never leave food unattended.
Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may
catch fire.
• At LO melt chocolate, butter on small surface unit.
