Keep Warm Element
(on some models)
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.
Use the Keep Warm Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.
The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm 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.
■Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
■Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.
■Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.
■Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
■Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface indicator light goes off. If spills or soils are not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.
■Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
■Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.
■Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
■Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
■Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the area.
1.Surface Cooking Area
2.Cookware/Canner
3.1 in. (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang
■Use
■Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
■Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
■Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.
■Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
