CONTROLS
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.
When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight
“clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat settings
you selected are being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always results in
a quicker change than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
1. Grasp the control knob
and push down.
2. Turn the knob to the
desired heat setting.
The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be rotated
without pushing in.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you
finish cooking.
An indicator light will glow when a surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at medium boil
or simmer.
Medium Low—
(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in a
covered pan.
LO—
Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature
of foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO settings,
melt chocolate and butter on a small surface unit.
NOTE: At HI or Medium High never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

COOKWARE TIPS
Cookware
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the trim ring more than 1 inch.
