lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on
a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed.

Note: The surface “Element On” indicator light(s) will glow when one or more
elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator light(s) when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned OFF.
