Cooktop Controls
The control knobs can be set anywhere between HI and LO. Push

setting heat levels.
ACCUSIMMER
®
Feature
(on some models)
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 ® control switch has 2 settings: SIMMER and
NORMAL BURNER. When the control 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. Push the ACCUSIMMER ® control switch to the SIMMER
position. The indicator light will glow.
2. Push in and turn the left front control knob to a setting
anywhere between HI and LO.
Select a knob position near medium or medium low (4 or 5)
for a low simmer or when using lids. Select a knob position
near medium-high (7 or 8) for a high simmer or when not
using lids.
On some models, select either the Single or Dual Zone
settings. See “Dual Cooking Zone” section.
3. Push the ACCUSIMMER ® control switch back to the
NORMAL BURNER setting when finished cooking. The
indicator light will go out.
