SURFACE 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 the control “clicks” into position. When cooking in a
quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds–an indication that the
heat settings you selected are being maintained.
Switching to higher heat settings always shows a quicker heat change than
switching to lower settings.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at medium boil
or simmer.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in a
covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature
of foods. Slow cooking and simmering. At LO settings,
melt chocolate and butter on a small surface unit.
NOTE: At HI or Medium High never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.

How to Set the Controls
1. Grasp the control
knob and push in.
2. Turn either clockwise
or counterclockwise to
the desired heat setting.
The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be rotated without
pushing it in.
Be sure you turn the control to OFF when you
finish cooking.
The surface unit indicator light will glow when
ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
