Control Settings; How To Set The Controls - GE JCSP31 Use And Care Manual

Your surface units and controls are designed to give
you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit
cooking. At both OFF and HI the control "clicks"
into position.

How to Set the Controls

1. Grasp the control
knob and push it in.
2. Turn the knob either
clockwise or counterclockwise
to the desired heat setting.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to boil.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on
large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on
large amounts of food.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving temperature
of most foods. At LO settings, melt chocolate, butter
on a small unit.
NOTE: At HI and Medium High, never leave food
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
SURFACE COOKING
When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight
"clicking" sounds—an indication that the heat
settings you selected are being maintained.
Switching to higher heat settings always results in a
quicker heat change than switching to lower settings.
The control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position. When the control is in any
position other than OFF, it may be turned without
pushing it in.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you
finish cooking.
The surface unit "ON" indicator light will glow
when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
