Melt Element
The Melt Cooking Zone offers flexibility due to a wide range of
settings between High and Melt. The High heat option can be used
to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting,
turn the knob clockwise. The Melt setting is designed for delicate
foods that require low heat, such as when melting chocolate or
holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt
Cooking Zone.

Warming Center Element
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 Cooktop Warming Center 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 Warming Center element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warming Center element area will not glow red when cycling
on. However, the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop
Warming Center element is in use.
• Use only cookware 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.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap to
cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
