Using the cooktop.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Cooktop 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 heats to higher settings
always results in a quicker change than
switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
Grasp the control knob and push
down.
Turn the knob 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 in.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to
OFF
when you finish cooking.
An indicator light will glow when a surface
unit is on.
