Simmer

The Simmer feature is an adjustable heat setting for more precise
simmering. It is the right front (and left rear on some models)
surface cooking areas or elements. When the Simmer feature is
not on, the right front surface cooking areas or elements will
function as usual.
When this feature is on, the wattage to the burner is significantly
reduced. It provides a wide range of temperatures for simmering.
Choose from the higher levels for stocks and water-based foods
or the lower levels for sauces, puddings and gravies.

Warm Zone Element

Use the Warm Zone Element to keep cooked foods warm. One
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food
quality.

The Warm Zone Element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used. The Warm Zone
Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its
indicator light will glow as long as the Warm Zone Element area is
too hot to touch.
■Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use.
■Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture
to escape.
