Using the Surface Warmer
(on some models)
SURFACE
WARMER
SET •OFF
The
SURFACE WARMER
, located in the
center of the glass cooktop surface, will
keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food.
Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the
SURFACE
WARMER
could result in food-borne
illness.
Touch the
SURFACE WARMER
SET- OFF
pad.
Touch the number pads 1, 2 or 3 to
select low (1), medium (2) or high
(3) warming setting.
Touch the
START
pad.
To turn the
SURFACE WARMER
off, touch
the
SURFACE WARMER SET¥OFF
pad until
WARMER
disappears from the display.
For best results, all foods on the
SURFACE
WARMER
should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil. When warming pastries
or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.
Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the
SURFACE
WARMER
, as cookware and plates will
be hot.
CAUTION:
Do not warm food on the
SURFACE WARMER
for more than two hours.
NOTE:
The surface warmer will not glow red like
the cooking elements.
HOT
will be displayed when the glass
surface is hot and will remain on until the
surface is cool enough to touch.
NOTE:
Lower settings may not heat the glass
surface enough to cause the
HOT
indicator light
to come on.
A surface warmer
ON
light will glow when
the unit is on.
■
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.
■
Use only cookware recommended for
top-of-range cooking.
