Controls & Indicators
Each of the cooking area controls has an infinite selection of heat settings. The
control settings begin at low and increase heat output by cycling the heating
elements between OFF and full power as you turn the knob clockwise. The
heating elements will stay at full power for longer periods and at zero power for
shorter periods as you turn the knob clockwise, thus increasing the heat output.
There is a light associated with each of the control knobs that provides an
indication of burner operation and a hot surface. When a control is in the ON
position, the red light is lit indicating which burner is on and is therefore too warm
to touch. Do not place articles other than cookware on the cooking surface while
this light is glowing.
