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.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 surface units
turned on, surface temperatures are high, so be careful
when touching the cooktop.
The HOT SURFACE light will glow when the
cooktop is hot to the touch.

Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers
may catch fire.

small element.

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
Cooking Tips section.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.
Hot cookware will not damage the surface.
