Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving
temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and
simmering. At LO setting, melt chocolate and butter

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned
on, surface temperatures are high so be careful
when touching the cooktop. The HOT SURFACE
indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.
NOTE:
• At HI and Medium High settings, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch on fire.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red
glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the
selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good,
flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the
Cookware Tips section.
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.
CAUTION: When the surface controls are
turned off, the HOT SURFACE indicator light
will remain lit until the cooktop surface has
cooled to approximately 150°F. The glass ceramic
surface will retain heat after the indicator light
goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface
has had time to cool.
