The Warmer Guide is for reference only and the SETTING that you need will depend on the amount and type of food, the starting temperature of the food, and the length of the holding time.

The SURFACE WARMER, located in the center of the glass cooktop 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 SURFACE WARMER could result in food-borne illness.

Touch the SURFACE WARMER SET•OFF pad once for low warming, twice for medium warming or three times for high warming.

Touch the START pad.

To turn the SURFACE WARMER off, touch the SURFACE WARMER SET•OFF pad until WARMER disappears from the display.

For best results, all foods on the SURFACE WARMER 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 SURFACE WARMER, as cookware and plates will be hot.

CAUTION: Do not warm food on the SURFACE WARMER for more than two hours.

NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.

HOT will be displayed when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch.

NOTE: Lower settings may not heat the glass surface enough to cause the HOT indicator light to come on.

An indicator light will glow when the unit is on.

■Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

■Use only cookware recommended for top-of-range cooking.
