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.
Be sure you turn the control knob
to OFF when you finish cooking.
Surface Cookware Tips
(on some models)
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
(on some models)
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.
Indicator Lights
(glass cooktops)
A HOT COOKTOP indicator light will glow
when any radiant element is turned on, and
will remain on until the surface is cool
enough to touch.
A surface unit ON indicator light will glow
when any surface unit is on.
NOTE: The surface unit ON indicator light may glow
between the surface control settings of LO and OFF,
but there is no power to the surface units.
