During operation, the indicator lights will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. The temperature control is used to set and maintain the temperature of the cooking surface. Temperatures range from about 250°F on the Low setting to 400°F on the High setting. You can vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking, and may wish to do so, depending on the types of foods on the cooking plates.
