Burn And Fire Hazard
Be sure all control knobs are turned
to OFF and all signal 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,
puddings 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.
Solid element surface units
(Model CEX215V)
Before placing a pan on solid element
surface units for the first time, heat on
high setting for five minutes. The
surface units will give off smoke as the
protective coating, applied at the factory,
finishes bonding to the surface.
