PerformanceBoostFunction, Timer | KitchenAid KICU508S, KICU568S

Use only cookware recommended for induction cooktop use, and those that have flat bottoms to make direct contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove cookware.

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape, if desired.

Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the keep warm function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.

The keep warm function is available on all surface cooking areas, and can be used for warming foods or for normal surface cooking area operation.
