Dual-Size Element(S); Simmer Feature - KitchenAid YKERI201 Use & Care Manual

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)
outside the area.
1. Surface Cooking Area
2. Cookware/Canner
3. 1 in. (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
area(s) is turned off.

Simmer Feature

(on ceramic glass models)
The Simmer feature is an adjustable heat setting for more precise
simmering. It is the right front and left rear surface cooking areas
or elements. When the Simmer feature is not on, the right front
and left rear surface cooking areas or elements will function as
usual.
When this feature is on, the wattage to the burner is significantly
reduced. It provides a wide range of temperatures for simmering.
Choose from the higher levels for stocks and water-based foods
or the lower levels for sauces, puddings and gravies.
To Use:
1. Set SIMMER switch to ON.
2. Select desired temperature setting, from LO to HI.
