We have one of those, there is a click in place for the high high setting, and the rest I just guesstimate. As for telling where the burner is, I just center my pan by using hands on either side and feeling the heat rizing. Some are big burners, our's is on the left front, then there is a small to the right, and I hardly ever use the back ones, so I'm not really sure. You can buy the stick on dots and get sighted assistance to place them around your knobs I guess and write down what each dot is for in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction, until you memorize it? That's probably what I would do. These dots come in 3 different sizes I think, they are rubberized and stuck to a sheet of paper which you pull them offof as needed. Nfb and other places sell them I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: Debra Sokol-McKay To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 5:58 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Burners?
Hi, I am new to the list. With a "flat top" stove top, how do you locate the burner to place the pot or pan on it in the first place, and especially knowing when to readjust the pans positions when it is hot? How to you manage the flat panel dials? My stovetop also has several burners with different burner size adjustments so that you can alter the burner size to fit the pan. I have heard many problems when appliances have flat panels. Any modifications or adaptations that anyone can suggest?
