OPERATION
Power Management
The cooking zones, which consist of paired cooking
elements, are restricted to drawing a certain
maximum amount of power.
If you turn on the Boost function for one element while
its paired element is in use, the Power Management
function may automatically reduce the power of both
elements. For consistent performance when using
multiple elements, use elements in separate cooking
zones.
NOTE
•
If the combined heat of the oven and the
surface burners is sufficiently high, the output of
the surface burners is reduced to avoid damage
to the product.
•
Both elements in a set of paired elements
cannot use the Boost mode at the same time.
To use the Boost mode on two elements
simultaneously, use non-paired elements.
Warming Zone
Use the Warming Zone, located in the back right of
the glass surface, to keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. The Warming Zone keeps food warm
after it has already been cooked. Attempting to cook
uncooked or cold food on the Warming Zone could
result in a food-borne illness.
CAUTION
FOOD POISON HAZARD
: Bacteria may grow in
food at temperatures below 140 °F.
•
Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm
setting to heat cold food.
•
Do not use the warm setting for more than two
hours.
Turning On Warming Zone
1
Push the control knob in.
2
Turn the knob in either direction to select the
desired setting.
For best results :
•
When warming pastries or breads, leave an
opening in the cover to allow moisture to escape.
•
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to
remove.
•
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware that is
recommended for oven and cooktop use.
NOTE
•
For best results, food on the Warming Zone
should be kept in its container or covered with a
lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
•
Do not allow aluminum foil to contact the hot
induction cooktop surface.
If a particular food is not listed , start with the medium
heat level and adjust as needed. Most foods can be
kept at serving temperatures by using the medium
heat level.
