Control knobs must be pushed in
before turning them to a setting. They
can be set anywhere between HI and
OFF.
Surface unit indicators
The solid dot in the surface unit
indicator shows which surface unit is
turned on by that knob.
Signal lights
The Surface Signal Light on the
control panel will glow when a
surface unit is on.
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 a high setting to start food cooking;
to bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium-high setting to hold a
rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.
Use a medium setting for gravy,
puddings and icing; to cook large
amounts of vegetables.
Use a medium-low setting to keep food
cooking after starting it on a higher
setting.
Use a low setting to keep food warm
until ready to serve. Set the heat higher
or lower within the low band to keep
food at the temperature you want.
Solid element surface units
(Model FEP335V)
Before using a solid element surface unit
for the first time, heat on high setting for
five minutes. The surface unit will give
off smoke as the protective coating,
applied at the factory, finishes bonding
to the surface.
Solid element surface units are made of
heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking.
Each surface unit has a built-in
protective limiter as a safety feature.
The limiter senses uneven cooking
temperatures and automatically reduces
the heat level. The limiter will sense
uneven heat when a pan boils dry or
when a pan is removed and the surface
unit is left on. The heat level may also be
reduced automatically if the bottom of
the pan is not flat or if the pan is too
large or too small for the element. This
will result in longer cooking times.
