COOk Function
During the COOK function, the overhead heating elements
operate at full power/intensity to ensure heat is evenly
dispersed over the cooking surface. The intensity of the
temperature can be adjusted by raising or lowering the upper
housing or by using only one pair of heating elements instead
of all four. The intensity of the heat that penetrates the food
decreases as the distance between the food and the heating
elements increases. Use the following procedure to operate the
salamander in the COOK function.
Do not lock ON timer knob. Unit has instant-on heating
elements designed to reach cooking temperatures quickly.
Locking ON timer knob will increase energy consumption
and may shorten life of heating elements.
