Using Your Cooktop; Using The Surface Burners - Whirlpool SC8900EX Use & Care Manual

Using Your Cooktop
Using the surface burners
Your cooktop is equipped with electric ignitors.
Electric ignitors automatically light the burners
each time they are used.
Control knobs must be pushed in and turned
to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the
ignition sparking. Visually check that burner
has lit.
To stop the clicking sound after the burner
lights, turn the control knob back to a desired
setting. The control knob has stops for HI and
low, however, it can be set anywhere between HI
and low.
Burner heat settings
Until you get used to the settings, use the
following as a guide. For best results, start
cooking at the high settings; then turn the control
knob down to continue cooking.
Use LITE to light the burner. After the burner
lights, turn control back to a desired setting to
stop the clicking of the ignition.
Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to
a boil.
Use a medium setting to continue cooking or
to fry chicken or pancakes; for gravy, pudding and
icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.
Use a low setting to keep food warm until
ready to serve.
NOTE: Do not cook with the control in the LITE
position.

setting is too high, it can:
. Char bacon and cause curling
l
Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
