SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Keep warm (some models)
Use the keep warm feature to keep cooked foods hot.
Always start with hot food.
It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the
warming 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 keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control:
1.
Push in the knob and turn in either direction (see
). 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 warming.
2.
When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The hot
surface indicator light will remain on until the warm zone
cools.
Temperature selection
- Refer to the recommended keep
warm zone settings table (see
). If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium level and adjust as
needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by
using the medium level.
•
Unlike the surface elements, the keep 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 keep 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.

Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt
to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
