ACCUSIMMER ® Feature
The ACCUSIMMER ® Feature setting is an adjustable heat setting
for more precise simmering. It is the left front surface cooking
area or element. The indicator light will glow when the
ACCUSIMMER
® Feature is in use.
The ACCUSIMMER ® Feature has two settings: SIMMER and
NORMAL BURNER. When the switch is set on NORMAL
BURNER, the left front surface cooking area or element will
function as a single or dual element (on some models).
To use:
1. Press the ACCUSIMMER ® switch to the SIMMER position.
The indicator light will glow.
2. Push in and turn the left front control knob to a setting
between LO and 5. Select LO for a low simmer or when using
lids and 5 for a high simmer or when not using lids.
On some models, select either the Single or Dual Zone
settings. (See “Dual Watt Element” section.)
3. Press the ACCUSIMMER ® switch back to the Normal Burner
setting when finished cooking. The indicator light will go out.
Dual Cooking Zone
The Dual Cooking Zone offers flexibility depending on the size of
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a
regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
To Use SINGLE :
1. Push in and turn the left front control knob counterclockwise
from the OFF position to the SINGLE zone anywhere between
HI and LO.
2. Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.
To Use DUAL :
1. Push in and turn the left front control knob clockwise from the
OFF position to the DUAL zone anywhere between HI and
LO.
2. Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.
Keep Warm Element
Use the Keep Warm Element to keep cooked foods warm. One
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food
quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from
MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.
The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm
Element area is too hot to touch.
■ Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use.
■ Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn KEEP WARM knob to desired setting.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see “General Cleaning” section.
■ Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
