ACCUSIMMER™ Feature
The ACCUSIMMER feature setting is the right front surface

The indicator light will glow when the ACCUSIMMER feature
setting is on. When the setting is not on, the right front surface
cooking area or element will function as usual.

1. Press the ACCUSIMMER feature button to turn on.
2. Push in and turn the right front control knob ON between the
MAX and MIN settings. Select the MIN range for a low
simmer or when using lids and the MAX range for a high
simmer or when not using lids.

knob to OFF when finished cooking.

Dual Cooking Zone

2
1. Single Size (6 in. [15.2 cm])
2. Dual Size (10 in. [25.4 cm])
The Dual Cooking Zone offers flexibility depending on the size of
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a
regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
To Use SINGLE:
1. Push in and turn the left front control knob counterclockwise
from the OFF position to the SINGLE zone anywhere between
HI and LO.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished cooking.
To Use DUAL:
1. Push in and turn the left front control knob clockwise from the
OFF position to the DUAL zone anywhere between HI and
LO.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished cooking.

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat
level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more
information, see "General Cleaning" section.
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools,
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop,
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
