Simmer Select Surface Unit Control
To Operate the Surface Element
1. Place cooking 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 indicator 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.
To Operate Sin_mer Select Surface Unit (if equipped)
The right side of the control knob allows you to use the Simmer Select unit as
you would any normal surface unit on the medium to high settings.
The left side of the control knob is used to operate the Simmer Select feature.
This feature allows the element to heat at a much lower temperature than
when used as a normal surface unit. This allows you to precisely simmer
delicate foods.
You may switch between normal cooking and Simmer Select at any time
during the cooking process. Be sure to set the knob indicator between MAX
and MIN for simmering or between MED and HI for normal cooking.
NOTE= The unit will not operate ifthe knob is positioned in the space
between MAX and MED.
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.
