Setting Surface Controls To Operate Surface Elements (all models) 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.
