Warming Center Notes:
* Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for
oven and cooktop use.
* Always use oven mitts when removing food from the
Warming Center as utensils will be hot.
* All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain food quality.
* When warming pastries and breads the cover should have
an opening to allow moisture to escape.
* Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt
on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.
* Be very careful not to allow aluminum foil to touch the
cooktop. If foil melts, do not use the cooktop. Call an
authorized Maytag servicer.
Smoothtop Surface
Smoothtop Surface Notes:
* Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
* Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the hot
surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the
smoothtop elements will not respond to changes in
settings as quickly as coil elements.
* In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
* Never attempt to lift the cooktop.
* The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when it is
hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface
cools.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent
circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking,
fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 7=inch beyond the
cooking area.
