Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can be set anywhere HI and OFF.
I I’ Using the Solid Element Surface Units Before placing a pan on solid element surface units for the first time, heat on HI setting for five minutes. The surface units will give off smoke as the protective coating, applied at the factory, finishes bonding to the surfaces. Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter. The limiter senses uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces the heat setting.
Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or large pans with concave bottoms. Solid elements are not recommended or ridged for canning. NOTE: If pan bottoms are not flat, the protective limiter will sense uneven cooking temperatures and reduce the heat setting. This will result in longer cooking times. See the Cooking Guide for important utensil information. Caring for your cooktop Control Panel and Knobs 3. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to wipe the control panel.
Solid Element Surface Unit 2. For best results, wipe off surface units with a damp soft cloth and soapy water after each use. Burned-on food may be removed with a soapy scouring pad. The red spot in the center of the surface unit will gradually wash off. This is normal and will not affect the operation of the surface unit. 3. IMPORTANT: After cleaning, apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to the CCCL surface units, then heat 3-5 minutes. It may still smoke slightly when heated.
