I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
Quick response and exactly what I was looking for and at a great fair price!

There is no one brand of utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. To check the flatness of a utensil: l Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it. l Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler. lid.
