when it is set at OFF; this is to pre-
vent you from turning the knob on
accidentally. When the knob is in
any other position, you can turn it
without pushing it in. You will feel it
pop out when you turn it to OFF.

SPECIAL NOTE: You may find
foods you boil on the surface units
causing condensation
to gather
under the upper microwave oven.
This is especially true of foods
boi!ed with water or naturally high
in moisture.
Steam condensation will not harm
your !ange. However, you may
minimize condensation by:
The lowest setting k between OFF
and WARM. At the HI setting, you
will feel the knob lightly click into
place.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear
slight "popping"
sounds during
cooking, indicating heat settings
are being maintained.

@Pots and pans should be flat on
the bottom and match the size of
the surface units, Large containers
should be on large units and small
ones on small units.
@It is important pans fit the units
you are using. A pan that extends
more than one inch beyond the
edge of the trim ring may reach
temperatures that could eventually
harm cooktop
surfaces
around
units.
@Center pots and pans on a sur-
face unit which closely matches
the bottom of the utensil in size.
@Containers of various materials
may require different heat settings
and/or
cooking time. Check the
manufacturer's
instruction before
using.
@Special cooking equipment with-
out flat bottoms, such as the orien-
tal wok, are not recommended and
could shorten the life of the sur-
face unit and/or range top since
high heat temperatures
are re-
quired in this type cooking.
