before turning them to a setting. They
can be set anywhere between HI and
OFF.

by that knob.
Surface unit indicator lights
One of the Surface Unit Indicator Lights
on the control panel will glow when a
surface unit is on.
Bum And Fire Hazard
Be sure all control knobs are
turned to OFF and all indicator
lights are OFF when you are not
cooking. Someone could be burned
or a fire could start if a surface unit
is accidentally left ON.
Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide. For best
results, start cooking at the high
settings, then turn the control knob
down to continue cooking.
Use a high setting to start food cooking;
to bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium-high setting to hold a
rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.
Use a medium setting for gravy,
pudding and icing; to cook large
amounts of vegetables.
Use a medium-low setting to keep food
cooking after starting it on a higher
setting.
Use a low setting to keep food warm
until ready to serve. Set the heat higher
or lower within the low band to keep
food at the temperature you want.
Cookware
Setting the clock
Pans should be the same size or larger
than the surface unit to prevent boil-
overs and hot handles.
Use only flat-bottomed utensils. Flat
bottoms allow maximum contact
between the pans and surface units for
fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven
bottoms or with raised patterns on the
bottoms are not suitable. Do not use
trivets, woks with skirts, or canners
with concave or ridged bottoms.
To check your cookware for flatness,
place a straight-edge across the bottom
of each piece. Rotate the straight-edge
across the bottom. If light shows
anywhere between the pan and the
straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not
use it.
Bum And Product Damage Hazard
. If the pan is too small for the
surface unit, you could be burned
by the heat from the exposed
section of the surface unit. Use
correctly sized cooking utensils to
prevent injury.
l If a surface unit stays red for a
long time, the bottom of the pan
is not flat enough or is too small
for the surface unit. Prolonged
usage of incorrect utensils for
long periods of time can result in
damage to the surface unit,
cooktop, wiring and surrounding
areas. To prevent damage, use
correct utensils, start cooking on
high setting and turn control
down to continue cooking.
