Setting Warm Zone Control (some models)

To Operate the warm zone

Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven- safe dinner

All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 warp to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

Indicator Lights

The Surface indicator light is located above or below the warm zone control. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The hot surface indicator light, located under the glass cooktop, will come on when the control is set and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to moderate level.

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented at the rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vents. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE

OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack, Fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
