Ceramic Glass Cooktop
(continued)
SETTING WARM ZONE CONTROL
(some models) (continued)
Indicator lights
The hot surface indicator light, located under the cooktop, will come on when the control is set and will continue to glow until the glass
cooktop has cooled down to moderate level.
To Set the Warm Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and are designate by HI,
MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of
heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The warm zone will remain warm until the hot surface indicator light
goes off.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart for recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed.
Most food can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.
SPECIAL CAUTION FOR ALUMINUM FOIL
AND ALUMINUM COOKING UTENSILS
1)
Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2)
Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are
used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking
may affect the ceramic glass surface.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. AVOID using bleach and do not use ammonia to clean the ceramic surface.
2. Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
3. Never slide oven racks across cooktop surface. They may scratch or metalmark the cooktop.
4.
If cooktop should break, do not use cooktop or attempt to clean it. Call your authorized service technician immediately.
5. Never use a trivet or metal stand between the cooking utensil and the ceramic cooktop. The ceramic surface may be scratched, metal marked
or etched by such items.
6. Sugary spills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is still hot. Use
caution when following the steps below.
a) Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.
b) Wearing an oven mitt, use a razor blade scraper to scrape the hot spill out of the cooking zone to a cooler area on the cooktop.
c) Allow the cooktop to cool.
