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.
Use the Keep Warm 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 Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used. The Keep Warm
Element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, its
indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm Element area is
too hot to touch.
Use only cookware and dishes 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.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
