I had the same welder and yes you can weld 3/16" steel. A neighbor and I bought our Lincoln from Costco about 20 years ago. It had the infinite wire speed at 4 power settings. The flux core wire doesn't like to make multiple passes without removing the slag between each pass. I bought it for doing sheet metal work but found it to be more than capable for most welding. The biggest project I did with the welder was make a trailer out of 1/8" and 3/16" think steel. Still have the trailer today. It's been modified several times over the years but none of the original welds failed.
