Cooking
guide for
using heat
settings
High (H)—Quick start for cooking; brings water
to a boil.
Medium High (7–9)—Fast fry, pan broil;
maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
Medium (4–6)—Sauté and brown; maintains a
slow boil on large amounts of food.
Medium Low (2–3)—Cook after starting at
high; cooks with little water in covered pan.
Low (1)—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving
temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and
simmering.
Lowest (L)—Keeps food warm, melts chocolate
and butter.
NOTE: If the cooktop is connected to 208 volts you
will notice some increase in cooking times.
• At high or 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
especially if it is set at 8–HI (H). The red glow
of the surface units will cycle to maintain the
selected heat setting. With poor cookware,
you will see frequent cycling of the surface
unit. Good, flat cookware will minimize the
cycling. See the Cookware Tips section.
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven
or surface units on the glass-ceramic surface
when it is cool.
NOTE: Cooktop temperatures increase with the
number of surface units that are on. With 3 or more
units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be
careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface
indicator light(s) will remain lit after the surface unit
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.
Using the
WARMER
surface unit
(on some models)
The WARMER surface unit keeps already
heated food warm until ready to serve. The
WARMER is not for cooking food.
1. Touch the ON/OFF pad for the WARMER
surface unit.
2. Using the INCREASE and/or
DECREASE pads choose the desired
heat setting. The indicator lights show your
heat setting.
3. To turn a surface unit off, touch the
ON/OFF pad again.
