Setting Surface Controls
Warm Zone (some models)
Unlike other radiant surface elements,
the Warm Zone will not glow red when it is HOT.
The
glass surface may still be hot and burns can occur if the
glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the Warm Zone as
cookware and plates will be hot.
Do not place flammable items such as
plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or
plastic wrappings on top of the range 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty
glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop.
If
these items melt on the cooktop they may damage the
ceramic cooktop.
The purpose of the Warm Zone is to keep hot cooked foods
at serving temperature. Use the Warm Zone feature (See
Fig. 1) to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with 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.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the Warm Zone.

1. Press the

within 6 seconds of pressing the

the Warm Zone control OFF.
Heat level selection
- Refer to the Warm Zone
recommended food settings (See Fig. 3). If a particular food
