SURFACE CONTROLS
At both OFF and HI positions, there is a slight niche so control “clicks” at
those positions; the word HI marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is
the word LO. In a quiet kitchen you may hear slight “clicking” sounds
during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.
Switching to higher heat settings always results in a quicker heat change
than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
1. Push the control knob in.
2. Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to the desired
heat setting.
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 turned without pushing it in.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFF when you finish cooking.
The surface unit ON indicator
light will glow when ANY
surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED
and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little
water in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving
temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and
simmering. At LO settings, melt chocolate and
butter on a small surface unit.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number
of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units
turned on, surface temperatures are high so be
careful when touching the cooktop. The four
HOT SURFACE indicator lights will remain lit
after the surface units are off until the cooktop is
cool enough to touch.
NOTE:
• At HI and Medium High settings, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red
glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the
selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good,
flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the
Surface Cookware Tips section.
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or
surface on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.

CAUTION: When the surface controls are
turned off, the HOT SURFACE indicator light
will remain lit until the cooktop surface has
cooled to approximately 150°F. The glass ceramic
surface will retain heat after the indicator light
goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface
has had time to cool.
