Cooking Guide
for Using Heats
HI
Bring water to boil.
MEDIUM
HI (8-9)
Fast fry, pan
broil; maintain fast boil on large
amount of food.
MED-
Same and brown; maintain
slow boil on large amount of food.
LOW (2-3)
Cook after starting at HI;
cook with little water in covered pan.
WM
Steam rice, cereal; maintain
serving temperature
of most foods.
NOTE:
1. At HI or MEDIUM
HI (8-9),
never leave food unattended.
Boilovers cause smoking;
greasy
spillovers may catch fire.
2. At WM or LOW (2-3), melt
chocolate, butter on small unit.
This control allows you to pre-select
the desired temperature.
To turn
the element
ON, push in and turn
clockwise. You will feel a "click"
at the "ofl "' position and at the
"boil" position.
The automatic
element senses the
temperature
of the cooking utensil
aim regulates it according to the
setting selected. Only one setting is
necessary for each method
trying,
simmering,
etc.
When turned on, the Sensi-Temp
element always begins with full
power, no matter where the dial
is set. When the temperature
corresponding
to that setting has
been reached, the element cycles
OFF and ON, similar to your oven.
Even when the dial is set at
nfinimum the element begins on
full power until the selected heat
setting is reached.
The Sensi-Temp
element will not
burn food when the correct setting
is selected. For example, baked
beans, chocolate,
mashed potatoes
can be left on the Sensi-Temp element
without scorching
or burning.
Food
may dehy&ate if left on but the heat
sensing device will not let the food
or pan overheat beyond the setting.
Cooktop
temperatures
increase
with the number of elements
that
are on. With 3 or 4 elements
turned on, surface temperatures
are high, so be careful when
touching
the cooktop.
Step 2: Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise
to desired heat
setting.
Control
must be pushed
in to set
only from OFF position. When
control is in any position other
than OFF, it maybe
rotated
without
pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF
when you finish cooking. An
indicator light will glow when
ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
Cookware Tips
Mmninum
cookware conducts heat
thster than other metals. Cast iron
and coated cast iron cookware is slow
to absorb heat, but generally
cooks
evenly at WM or MED settings.
Steel paus may cook unevenly if
not combined
with other metals.
Flat ground Pyroceram <_') s aucepans
or skillets coated on the bottom
with alumilmm cook evenly. Glass
saucepaus
should be used only as
the manufacturer
describes.
Do not
use a wire trivet or auy other kind
of heat-retarding
pad between the
cookware and the element.
