Range Hood Care; Cleaning - KitchenAid KXW9748YSS Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

Operating the heat lamp
The heat lamps are designed to keep food warm prior to serving.
The cooktop surface is too far away from the heat lamp to be
used as a shelf.
For best results, install a metal shelf to hold the food closer
to the lamps. The optimum distance between the shelf and
the range hood is 12" (30.5 cm) to 15" (38.1 cm).
A. Range hood
B. Metal shelf
For best performance, food should be placed directly under
the heat lamps, not between them. You may need to adjust
your food placement to match your needs.
1. Install heat lamp bulbs into heat lamp sockets.
NOTE: Heat lamp bulbs should be rated to a maximum of
175 watts each. For best performance, 175 watt maximum,
PAR38 type, red heat lamp bulbs are recommended. Bulb
performance varies. Lower wattage and clear bulbs decrease
the performance.
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.
2. To turn on the heat lamps, move the switch to the "I"
position. To turn off the heat lamps, move the switch
to the "O" position.
