Setting Surface Controls
1. Place the pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn the
element off before removing the pan.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked
will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Do not place plastic items such
as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or
plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop
when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the element.
NOTE: Control knob shown is typical only.
