ELEMENT ON Indicator Lights
Your range is equipped with surface control indicator lights that will glow on your
range— the ELEMENT ON indicator lights. (See illustration at left).
The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel will glow when a surface element
is turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights after cooking is an easy
check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.
To Operate the Surface Elements:
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to
a lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set
exactly on a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed.
3. 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.
