The oven knob is used to choose the oven
cooking temperature and is marked in 50 degree
increments, from 200°F to 450°F.
SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS
The surface heating elements of the appliance
are designed for a variety of heat settings. MAX
indicates the highest setting. MIN indicates the
lowest setting.
Changing to a higher heat setting will happen faster
than changing to a lower heat setting as it will take
time for the heat to dissipate.
To use the surface burner, push the control knob in
and turn to the desired setting. The knob only needs
to be pushed in when moving out of the “OFF”
position. When the knob is in any position other
than “OFF”, it can be turned without pushing in.
Ensure that the element is turned off when cooking
is fi nished. An indicator light will glow when any
heating element is turned on.
Use medium or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to
absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
Do not overfi ll cookware with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep
range and hood clean from accumulated grease.
To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should
be fl at on the bottom, have straight sides and tight-
fi tting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the
size of the surface element. A pan that extends more
than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps
heat, which causes “crazing” (fi ne hairline cracks)
on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue
to dark gray on chrome drip pans.
Wipe spills off the elements with a damp cloth as
soon as they cool down. Be sure the control knob is
set to OFF.
Never leave an empty pot or one that has boiled
dry on a hot surface element. The pot could
overheat and damage the pot or the surface of the
appliance. Always be sure that all control knobs are
turned to OFF and that the indicator lights are off
when the appliance is not in use.
SURFACE COOKING KNOB
Never leave food unattended while cooking. Boil
overs cause smoking. Greasy spill overs may catch
fi re.
Note that the icon above the knob indicates which
burner the knob controls.
