CONTROLS
Surface Cooking With Infinite Heat Controls
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight
“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit
at the heat level you set. 
Switching heats to a higher setting always shows a quicker change than
switching to a lower setting.
How to Set the Controls
Push the knob in 
and turn in either
direction to the heat
setting desired.
Be sure you turn the control to OFF when you 
finish cooking. 
The surface unit indicator light will glow when 
ANY heat on any module surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings
HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water 
to a boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and
MED.) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.
MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at a medium
boil or simmer.
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and
LO.) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water
in covered pan.
LO—Used for long, slow cooking (simmering) 
to tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting 
to melt butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.
NOTE: The surface unit indicator light may glow 
between LO and OFF, but there is no power 
to the surface units.
Do not be alarmed by the blower.
It will automatically come on when the 
grill or griddle is used.
