How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.
At both
OFF
and
HI
the control
clicks
into position. You may hear slight
clicking
sounds during cooking,
indicating the control is keeping the
power level you set.
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.
If boiling water, for more efficient use,
turn the knob to
HI
to bring it to a boil
faster. After the water has come to a boil,
reduce the knob setting to medium-high.
The heat will still be great enough to
maintain a boil, but you will be using less
energy.
An indicator light will glow when
any
surface unit is on.
Be sure you turn the control knob to
OFF
when you finish cooking.
Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the
edge of the surface unit more than
1 inch.
Not over 1 inch.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or
without the ring in place, can be
dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a build-up of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Deep Fat Frying
Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or
moisture on fresh foods can cause
hot fat to bubble up and over the
sides of the pan.
