Using the surface units.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Surface Cooking Controls
Your surface units and controls are
designed to give you a variety of heat
settings for surface unit cooking.
At both
LO and HI positions, there is a
slight niche so control
clicks at those
positions;
HI marks the highest setting; LO,
the lowest setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the control knob in.
Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to desired heat
setting.
Control must be pushed in to set only
from the
OFF
position.

Cooking Tips
Use medium- or heavyweight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast-iron and coated castiron cookware is slow to absorb heat,
but generally cooks evenly at low or
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
Do not overll cookware with fat
that may spill over when adding
food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch foods frying at high
temperatures. Keep range and hood
clean from accumulated grease.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear
slight
clicking sounds during cooking,
indicating heat settings selected are
being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings
always shows a quicker change in
temperature than switching to lower
settings.
When control is in any position other
than
OFF
, you can turn it without
pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to
OFF
when you
nish cooking. An indicator light will
glow when
ANY
surfaces unit is on.
A Burner On indicator light will glow
when
ANY
surface unit is on.
MIN
--- Cook after starting at HI; cook
with little water in covered pan. Use to
steam rice.
NOTE:
At
MAX
or
MEDIUM HIGH,
never
leave food unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking; greasy spillovers
may catch re.
At
MIN
, melt chocolate, butter on
small unit.
To conserve the most cooking energy,
pans should be at on the bottom,
have straight side and tight-tting lids.
Match the size of the saucepan to the
size of the surface unit. A pan that
extends more than an inch beyond
the edge of the drip pan traps heat,
which causes “crazing” (ne hairline
cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration
ranging from blue to dark gray on
chrome drip pans.
