How to Set

Using the Warming Zone (on some models)
The WARMING ZONE, located in the
center of the glass cooktop surface,
will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food.
Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the WARMING
ZONE could result in food-borne illness.
Touch the WARMING ZONE
SET/OFF pad.
Touch the number pads 1, 2 or 3 to
select low (1), medium (2) or high
(3) warming setting.
Touch the START pad.
To turn the WARMING ZONE off, touch
the WARMING ZONE SET/OFF pad until
WARMER disappears from the display.
For best results, all foods on the WARMING
ZONE should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil. When warming pastries
or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.
Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the WARMING
ZONE, as cookware and plates will be hot.
CAUTION: Do not warm food on the
WARMING ZONE for more than two hours.
NOTE: The warming zone will not glow red
like the cooking elements.
HOT will be displayed when the glass
surface is hot and will remain on until
the surface is cool enough to touch.
NOTE: Lower settings may not heat the glass
surface enough to cause the HOT indicator
light to come on.
A warming zone ON light will glow when
the unit is on.
■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.
■ Use only cookware recommended for
top-of-range cooking.
