operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower

not have to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the
graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed (See Fig. 1). Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A
glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is
too small for the surface heating area.

element OFF before removing the cookware.
