Surface Cooking
See Surface Cooking Guide.
Surface Cooking with
Infinite Heat Controls
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 between the words
LO and OFF. In a quiet kitchen
you may hear slight “clicking”
sounds during cooking, indicating
heat settings selected are being
maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings
always shows a quicker change
than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
Step 1
Grasp control knob and push in.
Step 2
Turn either clockwise or counter-
clockwise to desired heat setting.
Control must be pushed in to set
only from OFF position. When
control is in any position other
than OFF, 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 surface unit is on.
