KeepWarm

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.

The Keep Warm surface cooking area can be used to keep cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or not the other surface cooking zones are in use. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Keep Warm function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel.

Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use, and those that have flat bottoms to make direct contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove cookware.

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the Keep Warm function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.

A separate Keep Warm surface cooking area is available on some models.

To Use the Keep Warm Surface Cooking Area (on some models):

1.Touch ON keypad for the Keep Warm Surface cooking area. Power Level 1 light will blink.

2.While the Power Level 1 light is blinking, touch the desired power level on the Power Level selector bar.
