Using the Warming Zone
FOOD POISON HAzARD: Bacteria may
grow in food at temperatures below 140°F.
■
Always start with hot food. Do not use
warm setting to heat cold food.
■
Do not use warm setting for more than
2 hours.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in foodborne illness.
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back
center of the glass 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 foodborne illness.
Push and turn the control knob to any
desired setting.
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.
Use the lowest setting for breads
and pastries. Use a medium setting for
vegetables, sauces, stews, cream soups,
butter and chocolate. Use the highest
setting for soups (liquid) and hot beverages.
These initial suggested settings are for
reference only. The temperature, type and
amount of food, type of pan, and the time
held will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the WARMING ZONE,
since cookware and plates will be hot.
NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow
red like the cooking elements.
Models with a bridge burner only.

Using the surface units.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Using the Bridge Burner (on some models)
To use the bridge burner, turn the left-front
control knob to the BRIDGE BURNER
settings.

settings.
Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass
cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
■
the pan boils dry.
■
the pan bottom is not flat.
■
the pan is off-center.
■ there is no pan on the unit.
