Warm Zone Element

The Warm Zone feature can be used to keep cooked foods

warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain

food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods.

When the Warm Zone feature is in use, it will not glow red like the

cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control

panel.

The Warm Zone feature can be used alone or when any of the

other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from

LOW to HIGH for different levels of heating.

The Warm Zone Element area will not glow red when cycling on.

However, the hot surface indicator light will glow as long as the

Warm Zone Element area is too hot to touch.

■ Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven

and cooktop use.

■ Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming

baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for

moisture to escape.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may

melt.

■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

To Use:

1. Push in and turn Warm Zone knob to desired setting.

2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.

Melt

The Melt function is available on all the surface cooking

elements, and is ideal for melting chocolate or butter.

To Use:

1. Push in and turn knob to MELT.

2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on,

except when Melt or Warming Zone (on some models) are used.

It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.

It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to

appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As

the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep

it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On

cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may

be more visible, and may require more cleaning and attention.

Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For

more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a

heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the

cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the

cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped

between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could

break when the lid is removed.

■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and

soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down

slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills

using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills

are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop

and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware

across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough

finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or

marks on the cooktop.

■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers

on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that

cannot be removed completely.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that

could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part

of the entire cooktop.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a

cutting board.

■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking

area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)

outside the area.

■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and

energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or

dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor

cooking results.

■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,

no space or light should be visible between it and the

cookware.

■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits

when heated.

■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly

on the cooktop.
