Infinite Heat Controls
SURFACE COOKING
At both OFF and HI settings, there is a slight niche.
When turning the control knob to either of these
positions, you will feel the control “click” into
the niche.
When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight
“clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat settings
you selected are being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always results in a
quicker change than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
1.
Grasp control knob and
push in.
2. Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to desired

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Bring water to boil.
MEDIUM HIGH—Fast fry, pan broil; maintain fast
boil on large amount of food.
MED—Saute and brown; maintain slow boil on large
amount of food.
MEDIUM LOW—Cook after starting at HI; cook
with little water in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
Cookware
● Use medium-or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
● For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the trim ring more than one inch.
NOTE:
1. At HI or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave food
unattended.

HOME CANNING TIPS
Canning should be done on surface units only.
In surface cooking, the use of pots extending more
than one inch beyond the edge of the surface unit’s
drip pan is not recommended. However, when
canning with a water-bath or pressure canner,
large-diameter pots may be used. This is because
boiling water temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the
surface units.
● Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
Withoutthering;np,ace
types of woks, with or
can be dangerous.
the ring over the surface
unit will cause a build-up of
heat that will damage the porcelain
cooktop. Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously
burned if the wok tipped over.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce
and all types of frying-cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could
eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding
surface units.

mixtures—
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your range or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don’t make
enough contact with the surface unit and take too
long to boil water.

l;.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of
large quantities of water.
