To Operate Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)
The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer
element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats the element at a much lower
temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between
normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking
process. When using the element control for normal cooking all of the settings on the
control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.
To Start Simmer Select:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.
2. Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob. The Simmer
Select indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 1).
3. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band
on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control
knob from LO to 4 as needed (See Recommended Settings for Simmer Select
Surface Element on previous page).
4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and
the indicator light will turn OFF. When cooking is complete, be sure to set the
control knob to the OFF position.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
hoJders 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 surface elements.
