Using
Your cooktop’s easy-to-use controls will
work for all of the accessories. Please
review this section before cooking with your
cooktop to learn the few basics you’ll need
to use them correctly.
Turning the knobs
Push down on control knobs before
turning them to a setting. You can set
them anywhere between HI and LO.
NOTES:
When the knob is set in any position,
other than OFF, you can turn it in any
direction without pushing down.
When using the grill element (see pages
23-28), you can use either the whole grill
area or only half the grill area. To use the
whole area, turn on both the front and rear
control knobs. To use half the area, turn on
only one of the control knobs.

The Surface Unit Indicator Light on the
control panel will glow when
