Automatic cooking functions All elements feature automatic cooking levels (Simmer and Melt) that will set the cooktop to precisely the right level for special tasks. These settings can be used on more than one element at the same time. To Use: 1. Touch the display area of the cooking element you want to use. 2. Touch the setting you wish to use (Simmer or Melt). An “A” will appear in the display, and the indicator light next to the correct function will light.
To Use DUAL and TRIPLE: Dual/Triple Element The dual and triple elements offer flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine single, dual and outer elements, and are recommended for larger cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning. For best high heat performance, match burner to cookware size. For fastest speed to boil on 30" (76.2 cm) cooktops, use the right Ultra Power™ element.

COOKTOP USE ■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. ■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. ■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. Cookware Characteristics Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly. ■ Suitable for all types of cooking. ■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. ■ Heats slowly and evenly. ■ Good for browning and frying. ■ Maintains heat for slow cooking. ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions. ■ Heats slowly, but unevenly. ■ Ideal results on low to medium heat settings. Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.
