you set.

when any radiant element is turned on,
and will remain on until the surface is
cooled to approximately 150°F.
Indicator light will:
n come on when the unit is turned on
or hot to the touch.
n stay on even after the unit is turned off.
n glow until the unit is cooled to
approximately 150°F.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF
when you finish cooking.
Dual Surface Unit Control Knob
The dual surface unit has 2 cooking sizes
to select from so you can match the size
of the unit to the size of the cookware
you are using.
To use the small surface unit, turn
the control knob counterclockwise
to the small surface unit settings.
To use the large surface unit, turn
the control knob clockwise to the large
surface unit settings.
Using the COOK-WARM Zone
The COOK-WARM 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 COOK-WARM ZONE could result
in food-borne illness.
Push and turn the control knob to any
desired setting.
For best results, all foods on the
COOK-WARM 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 COOK-WARM
ZONE, as cookware and plates will be hot.
CAUTION:
Do not warm food
on the COOK-WARM ZONE for more than
two hours.
NOTE: The surface cook-warm zone will not
glow red like the cooking elements.
A HOT surface indicator light will glow when
the glass surface is hot and will remain on
until the surface is cool enough to touch.
Lower settings may not heat the glass
surface enough to cause the HOT surface
indicator light to come on.
A COOK-WARM ZONE indicator light will
glow when the unit is on.
n Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface
and be very difficult to clean.
n Use only cookware recommended for
top-of-range cooking.
