Surface Control Knob
Do not place plastic items
such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the element.
Griddle Control Knob
To Operate the Surface Element
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower
setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at the signal light when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all control knobs are turned off.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-
weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
To Operate the Griddle
Foods can be placed directly on the griddle for cooking. To remove the griddle for
cleaning the burner box underneath, grasp the griddle in the front and gently pull
away from plug terminal, then lift up and out. To reinstall, grasp the griddle with both
hands at the end opposite the terminals and using the middle rod at the terminal
end as a guide, push the griddle into place.
1. Push in and turn the griddle control in either direction to the desired setting. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking.
2. The control does not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks
as a guide and adjust the control as needed.
3. The griddle indicator light glows when the griddle is on. A quick glance at
the light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure the control is turned
off.
4. Preheat for a few minutes (until butter melts or beads of water dance on the
griddle).
5. Use only nylon or plastic spatulas, spoons, etc. Metal can scratch the non-
stick finish.
6. Make sure the griddle is turned OFF when cooking is finished. Leaving the
griddle ON will damage it.
