instructions below to set the the clock and minute timer.

kitchen timer that buzzes when the set time has run out.

1. Push the TIMER ON/OFF pad.

to program.

3. When the set time has passed, the buzzer will sound. Push TIMER ON/OFF

pad to stop buzzer.

Setting the Clock and

Minute Timer

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower

one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining

proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used

and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for

cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob

accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.

If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be

undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food

will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size

Type of Cooking

High Flame

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Medium Flame

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Low Flame

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with

lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the

outer edge of the utensil. A higher

flame simply wastes heat and energy,

and increases your risk of being burned

by the flame.

Proper Burner

Adjustments

Flame Size

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame

is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame

should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-

orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.
