Setting Surface Controls

2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on. Always turn
the element off before removing the pan.
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

*The suggested settings found in the list above are based on cooking in medium thickness
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or
plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too close to the element.
Indicator Light
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light
for each pair of heating units.
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows
when the control knob of the individual heating unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low
temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at all.
If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.
When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the
control knobs have been turned to OFF.
Oven Vent(s) and Racks
Oven Vent Locations
The oven has its own vent located on the top, near each side and towards the back of the
cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent; this ventilation is
necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-10
cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other or
the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables.
Keep food cooking, poach, stew.
