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 setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed.
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface "Element On" indicator light(s) will glow when one or
more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator light(s) when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned
off. See chart below for recommended control settings for different types of
foods.
To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models
The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature
heats the element at a much lower temperature and more precisely than when used as a normal surface element. You
may switch between normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When
using the element control for normal cooking, all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.
1. To activate the Simmer Select feature, push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob. The
Simmer Select indicator light will glow and remain on while simmering.
2. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use
the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below).
3. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn off.
When cooking is completed, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.
