COOKTOP USE
This manual covers several different models. The range you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations and
appearances of the features shown here may not match those of your model.
Cooktop Controls
The cooktop controls can be set to anywhere between HIGH and
LOW. Push in and turn to the desired heat setting. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Cooktop On Indicator Light
Each cooktop control has a Cooktop On indicator light. When the
control knob is on, the light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
Hot Surface indicator lights are located next to the surface
cooking area. 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.
Dual Element
(on some models)
The Dual 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 dual elements
and is recommended for larger cookware, larger quantities of
food and home canning.
