Using the surface unit controls
The Surface Unit Control Knobs must be pushed in before turning
them. This helps avoid turning them on accidentally when wiping off the
Control Panel. And it helps keep small children from turning them on. You
must push in on them. ..then turn to the setting
you want.
A design by each knob tells which unit is turned on by that knob.
(For example. [ . 1 shows that tile right front unit.. the one closest to you
on your right.. will heat when you push in and turn that knob.)
The knob may be set anywhere between “HI” and “OFF.” As you
use your surface units. you will get used to the settings that match your
pots, pans and favorite foods the best.
As a guide. the setting should cook at about the following heats:
HI - To start most foods cooking. To bring water to a boil.
MED-HI ~ To hold a rapid boil; to fry pancakes or chicken.
MED -To make gravy, puddings and icings; to cook large quan-
tities of Lseyetables.
MED-LO ~ To keel> food cooking after starting it at a higher setting.
LO - To keep food warm until ready to serve. You ~111 notice
that YOLI can set the heat higher or lower within the LO
band I
2,% 1 to help keep food at the temperature you
want

Variable Broil Feature:
You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling
can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature on the Oven Temperature Control Knob Instead of “BROIL.” Using a lower temperature will
cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the
food broils more slowly.
When the Oven Temperature Control Knob is on “BROIL.” the
Broil Element heats all the time. Set the temperature lower and it heats
some of the time The lower the temperature setting, the shorter are the
periods of heating.
NOTE:
The Oven Selector must be in the “BROIL” position in
order for the Broil Element to heat.
Resetting the oven temperature control:
Does your new oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven?
The temperatures in older ovens often shift very gradually, getting hotter
or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is
properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, but when compared
to your old range. the new design may give you different baking results. If
you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder. you can adjust the Oven Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off. On the back. just across from the locking screw. are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.
To set your o\ren about 10 F(5’C) cooler. loosen the locking screw
about two full turn< and move the row of notches one notch closer to
“LO ‘. To set your oven about lO”F(5-C) warmer, move the row of
notches one notch closer to “HI.” Each notch equals about lO^F(5-C).
Tighten the locking screw and put the knob back on the
(xntrol
panel
