See Surface Cooking Guide on pages 10 and 

Surface Coating with

 Heat 

Your surface units and controls
are designed to give you an infinite
choice of heat settings for surface
unit cooking.

At both OFF and HI positions, there
is a slight niche so control “clicks”
at those positions; “click” on HI
marks the highest setting; the lowest
setting is 

 the words LO and

OFF. In a quiet kitchen, you may
hear slight “clicking” sounds
during cooking, indicating heat
settings selected are being

Switching heats to higher settings
always shows a quicker change than
switching to lower settings.

How to Set the Controls

 1: 

 control knob and

 -

Step 2: 

 either clockwise or

counterclockwise to desired heat
setting.

Control must be pushed in to set

 from 

 position. When

control is in any position other
than 

 it may be rotated

without pushing in.

Be sure you turn control to OFF
when you finish cooking. An
indicator light will glow when
ANY heat on any 

 unit is on.
