To Operate the Surface Element
1. Placecooking utensil on the surface element,
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the
desired setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not
have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide
and adjust the control knob as needed.
3. When cooking iscompleted, turn the surface element off before
removing the pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or
more elements are turned on. A quick glance at the signal light(s) when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are
turned off.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
