(some models) (continued)
Hot Surface Indicator Light
(some models)
An indicator light located on the backguard will glow as soon as the element switch is turn on. When the heating unit is
turned off, it will continue to glow as long as the glass remains warm enough to cause burns.
Setting Warm Ready Zone Controls
(some models)
To Operate the Warm Ready Zone
Your range is equipped with a warm ready zone. The purpose of the warm ready zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm ready zone.
All food placed on the warm ready zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 warp
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 ready zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm ready zone will not glow red when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm ready zone as cookware and plates
will be hot.
Indicator Lights
The
surface indicator light
is located above or below the warm ready zone control. It turns on
when the control is set, and stays on until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.
To Set the Warm Ready Zone Control
1.
To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and are des-
ignated 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 ready zone will remain warm until the
hot sur-
face 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 foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.
