heat levels ranging
from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure 6)
and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between
9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3) decrease
or increase in increments
of .5 (1/2). The settings between
3.0 (Figures 3 & 4) and 1.2
(Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease
or increase
in increments
of .2 (1/5) to
Lo (Figure 6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use
the Recommended
Surface
Setting Chart to determine
the correct
setting for the kind
of food you are preparing.

How the Electronic Surface
Element Controls work when the Sabbath
feature
is ON.
When your Oven Sabbath
feature
is ON, the Electronic
Surface
Elements are also in Sabbath
mode. This means that all
electronic
surface element
control
displays
show "Sb" (Figure 10). The surface elements
can be used even if the Sabbath
Feature is on.
To turn ON a Surface
Element when the Oven Sabbath
Feature is active:
With the Sabbath
feature
active, a surface element
wiii not start heating
until 15-30 seconds after you turn it on. The heat
setting you have turned to will not appear
in the display
because
"Sb" (Figure 10) is showing
there. Any adjustment
to the
heat setting will also take 15 -30 seconds to go into effect.
To turn OFF the Surface
Element when the Oven Sabbath
Made is active:
To shut off: the surface
element while the Sabbath
feature
is ON, press the ON/OFF
button
for that element. The element
will immediately
turn off: without
delay.
Note: Refer to the Sabbath
Feature section.
