SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fi re if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
CAUTION
The keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot,
but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing
hands on or near the keep warm zone until the keep
warm zone hot surface indicator light is OFF. Always
use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the keep warm zone as cookware and plates will be
hot.
Keep warm zone
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm
feature to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to
heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed
on the keep warm zone should be covered with a lid 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 wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very
diffi cult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
keep warm zone.
