Surface Cooking

Surface Controls

Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of
heat settings is available from Low to High. The knobs can
be set on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1. Place pan on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired
heat setting.
• The control panel is marked to identify which
element the knob controls. For
example, the graphic at right indicates
left front element.
3. There is an element indicator light on the control panel.
When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will
turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface
elements are turned off.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through
the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off
to maintain the preset heat setting, even on High.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware, type and amount of food
being heated, and wattage of individual elements will deter-
mine where to set the knob for cooking operations. Some
elements have a predetermined simmer and melt setting that
will require only minor adjustment up or down depending on
the food being prepared. The other elements have settings
printed around the knobs that are also unique to those
elements. Adjust the heat settings to the numbers that give
the desired cooking results. For information on cookware and
other factors affecting heat settings, refer to Cookware
Recommendations on page 7. The following descriptions will
aid in choosing the settings that will give optimum results.
Hold or Warm: Food maintains a temperature above 140°F
without continuing to cook. Food is initially hot and then heat
is reduced. Never use a hold or warm setting to reheat cold
food.
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the
surface. Foods are between 185°F and 200°F. A simmer
setting can also be used to steam or poach foods or continue
cooking covered foods.
Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow
boil setting can also be used for most frying and for maintain-
ing the cooking of large amounts of liquids.
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting
can also be used to brown meat, stir fry, sauté, and heat oil
for frying before turning to a lower setting. The highest 3 or 4
settings on the knob are used for these cooking
operations. The highest setting is always used to bring water
to a boil. Some elements offer an even higher speed for
boiling liquids.
Dual Element
The cooking surface has a dual element
located at the left front of the
smoothtop. This allows you to change
the size of the element.
The small element is operated on the
left side of the knob control. To operate
the entire element, use the right side of
Front
the knob control. The control for both
element sizes can be set anywhere
between Low and High.
Triple Element
The cooking surface has one triple element located in the
right front position. This element can be used for larger
cooking utensils when the triple element is used, or for
smaller pans when the
single or dual
settings are
chosen. To
select single,
dual or triple
settings, rotate
the element
selection knob.
Flex-Choice
The Flex-Choice
functioning element that provides an
ultra low Melt heat setting for melting
chocolate and butter. It is located in
the left rear position
The Melt setting is located between
2 and OFF. Heat settings outside of this
area function as a normal element, with
2 (Low) to High settings.
Note: When using the normal settings for preparing foods,
it may take a few minutes for the cooking area to cool to
the Melt heat setting.
