Surface Unit Control Knobs must be pushed in before turning.
Turn either way to the setting you want.
A design by each knob tells which unit is turned on by that knob.
The Signal Light will glow whenever a Surface Unit is on. Be
sure this light is off when you have finished cooking.
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 cooklng. To bring water to a boil.
MED-HI -To hold a rapid boil; to fry pancakes or chjcken.
MED -To make gravy, puddings and Icings; to cook large quan-
tities of vegetables.
MED-LO - To keep food cooking after starting It at a higher setting.
LO-To keep food warm until ready to serve. You will notice
that you can set the heat higher or lower within the LO
band [ ‘21 to help keep food at the temperature you
want.
NOTE: Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best results and to prevent damage to the range. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms
(woks, ridged-bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended. See
the “Cooking Guide” for important utensil information.

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 on BROIL and the door
must be partly open for all broiling temperatures.
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 Tempemture 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 oven about lO”F(5”C) cooler, loosen the locking screw
about two full turns and move the row of notches
