When cooking is completed, turn the surface element OFF before removing
the pan. Note: The surface "ELEMENT ON" indicator light(s)will glow
when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these
indicator light(s) when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all
surface elements are turned off. See chart below for recommended control
settings for different types of foods.
The suggested settings found in the table below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may
vary when using other types of pans.
