Операция
The surface burner control switch functions in conjunction with the control knob on your range or cooktop. Turning the knob adjusts the internal mechanism of the switch, which in turn varies the electrical power delivered to the corresponding surface heating element. This allows you to select different heat levels, from low to high, for cooking.
- Rotate the control knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select the desired heat setting for the surface burner.
- The switch is designed to provide continuous variable heat control, not just on/off functionality.
Техникалык тейлөө
The Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Control Switch is a sealed unit and does not require routine maintenance. However, periodic inspection of the control panel area and wiring connections can help ensure continued reliable operation.
- Ensure the control knobs are clean and free from grease or food debris.
- If you notice any loose connections or signs of wear on the wiring during other appliance maintenance, address them promptly (after disconnecting power).
- Avoid excessive force when turning control knobs, as this can damage the switch mechanism over time.
