Section Four: Using the Cooktop
COOKTOP OPERATION
SIGNAL LIGHT
The Signal Light (not on all models),
or "ON" Light is located in the area of
the Control Knobs. For location see
"Section Three: Description", located
on pages 7 to 9, to identify your model.
This light turns on when any Control
Knob is set.
• Adjust control knob to lower set-
tings in small steps.
• If control is set too low to main-
tain simmer, bring the food back
to a boil before setting a higher
simmer setting.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• The type and quantity of the food
will affect which setting to use.
• The size, type and material of your
pan will affect which setting to
use.
• When a large pan is used on a
small burner, it may cause the
simmer action to occur mainly in
the center of the pan. When the
food is stirred, the cooler food
near the edges of the pan may
result in an overall temperature
too cool to simmer. If this hap-
pens, turn the burner up slightly.
• It is normal to stir food occasion-
ally. This is especially important
when simmering for several
hours. For example: a homemade
spaghetti sauce or beans.
• It is normal not to see simmer
bubbles immediately after the
food has been stirred.
• While the flame is ON there may
be bubbling; there should be at
least steam and a slight quivering
of the liquid’s surface.
• Simmer bubbles may not be seen
when the flame has cycled OFF.
