SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Warm Zone
Use the warm zone feature to keep cooked foods
hot.
Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered
with a lid to maintain quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads,
the cover should have an opening to allow moisture
to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very
difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils, and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use
on the warm zone.
Setting the warm zone control:
1. Push in the knob and turn in either direction.
The temperatures are designated by Hi and Lo.
However, the control can be set at any position
between Hi and Lo for different levels of warm-
ing.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF.
The hot surface indicator light will remain on
until the warm zone cools.
CAUTION
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always
use potholders or oven mitts when removing food
from the cooktop, including the warm zone, as
cookware and plates will be hot.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass
surface may still be hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched before it has cooled
sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close
to the surface elements.
