USING THE
SURFACE ELEMENTS
Surface element controls
Control knobs must be pushed in before
turning them to a setting. They can be set
anywhere between HI and “0” (OFF).
The controls for the surface elements provide
infinite heat settings. The numbers on the dial
serve as a reference. The control can be turned
to any setting to provide the exact heat required.
Glass ceramic cooktop models: The controls
work on the principle of percent on, percent
off. For example, when the control is turned to
the “5” setting, the element will be on only
50% of the time. Because of the fast heat-up
of radiant heat elements, you will notice, and
perhaps even hear, the element switching on
and off.
Power on lights
The Power On lights beside the control knobs
indicate which surface elements are turned on
by the knobs. A Power On light will glow when
its associated surface element is turned on.
Burn and Fire Hazard
l
Be sure all control knobs are turned
to “0” and the Power On light(s) is off
when you are not cooking.
l
Someone could be burned or a fire
could start if a surface element is
accidentally left ON.
