WARMER GUIDE
1–4 (LO) Casseroles, plates of food, TV dinners,
meats, vegetables and breads
5–7 (MED) Sauces and stews
8–9 (HI) Soups and beverages
Cover all foods being warmed with foil or a lid.
• At high or medium high settings, never leave
food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking;
greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can
be seen glowing red within a few seconds
especially if it is set at 8–HI (H). The red glow
of the surface units will cycle to maintain the
selected heat setting. With poor cookware,
you will see frequent cycling of the surface
unit. Good, flat cookware will minimize the
cycling. See the Cookware Tips section.
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven
or surface units on the glass-ceramic surface
when it is cool.
NOTE: Cooktop temperatures increase with the
number of surface units that are on. With 3 or more
units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be
careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface
indicator light(s) will remain lit after the surface unit
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.
