COOKTOP CONTROLS - KNOB CONTROLS
Cooktop Controls
The controls can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn knob to desired heat setting.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
NOTE: Elements will not glow red on all settings.
Hot Surface Indicator Lights (on Standard Control models)
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area(s) is turned off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator Lights will remain on after the power is restored to the
cooktop. They will remain on until the cooktop has cooled
completely.
Power Light
Each cooktop has a Power On light. The light will glow when any
burner is on.
Dual/Triple Element
The dual- and triple-size elements offer flexibility depending on
the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same
way as a regular element. The dual size combines the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger cookware, large
quantities of food, and home canning.
For best High heat performance, match burner to cookware size.
For best Low heat or Simmer performance, match cookware to
largest cooking area ring and use single ring for desired
performance.
