Infinite Heat Controls
The solid disk elements and
control knobs
designed to give
you an infinite choice of heat
settings for cooking.
The automatic element senses the
temperature of the pan and
regulates it according to the setting
selected.
At off (0), 5 and 12 (HI), there is a
slight niche so control knobs
“click” at those positions; “click”
on 12 (HI) marks the highest
setting; the lowest setting is
between 1 and off (0). In a quiet
kitchen, you may hear slight
“clicking” sounds during cooking,
indicating heat settings selected are
being maintained.
When turned on,
elements always begin with full
power, no matter where the control
knob is set. When the temperature
corresponding to that setting has
been reached, the element cycles
off and on to maintain the selected
setting. Even when the dial is set at
minimum, the element begins on
full power until the selected heat
setting is reached.
Switching to higher settings
shows a quicker
temperature change than switching
to lower settings.
elements will not burn
food when the correct setting is
selected. For example,
beans, chocolate and mashed
potatoes can be left on
elements without scorching or
burning. Food may dehydrate if
left on, but the heat sensing device
will not let the food or pan
overheat beyond the setting.

Step 1: Grasp desired control knob
and push down.
Control knobs must be pushed
down to rotate only from the off
(0) position. When control
knobs are in any position other
than off (0), they
be rotated
without pushing-down.
Step 2: Turn control knob
clockwise to the desired heat
setting.
The module controls can be set
anywhere between LO and HI for
an-unlimited number of heat settings.
Be sure you turn control knob off
(0) when you finish cooking. You
will feel a “click” at the off (0)
position.
An indicator light near the control
knobs will glow when ANY
module element is on.
