WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Using the Warming element

(Model KECC563H)

Use the Warming element to keep cooked oods warm. It is not recommended for heating cold foods. Choose the LO setting for heat-sensitive and smaller quantities of food. Choose the HI setting for iquids and larger quantities of food. Adjust as needed.

To set the Warming element:

1.Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting from LO to HI for different levels of heating.

2.Turn the knob to OFF when finished. The Keep Warm element will remain warm until the surface indicator light on the cooktop goes off.

•Cover all foods with a lid. Do not use plas- tic wrap to cover food because it may melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

•Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

•Use potholders or oven mitts to remove food.

•The Warming element will not glow red when it is on, unlike the surface elements. However, the surface indicator light on the cooktop will glow.

•The Warming element may be used whether the other elements are in use or not.

•The quality of the food may deteriorate if it is kept on the Warming element for an extended period of time.
