OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls
 See Fig  1 of 2 for control locations and operation summary. Each element has a control knob
that is designated for use with it. See Fig  1 or 2 for control knob locations and Fig  3 for
control knob description. Controls are turned on by pushing the knob in and turning the knob in
either direction to the heat setting desired. Caution: The control knobs are designated for
various elements based on the knob graphics. If knobs are removed for cleaning, they
should be replaced in the order removed. See Fig  3 for a description of the knob graphics
and the location of the knob on the cooktop,
 The control is in the off position when the OFF graphic on the knob lines up with the red
indicator mark in the bezel, located behind the knob, and snaps into place.
Dual element controls have a detent at LO and HI heat positions, to aid you in locating the
minimum and maximum heat settings. Single elements and warming surface controls have a
detent at HI heat position only. There are a infinite number of settings between LO and HI. The
knob graphics include numbers that aid you in selecting the desired heat setting. The setting
selection is indicated when the knob graphic is aligned with the red indicator mark in the bezel,
located behind the knob. See Fig  4 for heating element recommended settings.
 The warming zone control operates in same manner as the controls regulating the heating
elements, but results in much lower heat settings. See Fig  4 for recommended settings.
 Practice and experience will ultimately determine the heat settings most appropriate for you. You
may want to make a notation in your cooking references when you determine a setting most
appropriate for a particular food item.
Warming zone guide
Use utensils and pans with flat bases. If plates or platters having a ridge on the bottom are
used do not use a heat setting greater than #4.
Always put food in a utensil, never directly on the cooktop.
Use utensils/pans that are approved or recommended for use on a hot surface.
Accelerate the preheating of the warming surface by setting the control on high for 1 or 2
minutes and then reducing the setting to the desired level.
Do not use a trivet directly on the cooktop.
Keep dishes covered to allow use of lower heat settings, to keep foods hot.
