Keep Warm
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.
The Keep Warm function is available on all the surface cooking
elements and is ideal for keeping cooked foods warm. Do not use it
to heat cold foods. One hour is the recommended maximum time
to maintain food quality.
• 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.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
To Use:
1. Touch ON or ON/BURNER SIZE.
2. Touch the "+" pad twice for Keep Warm.
When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn surface cooking area off.
Simmer
The Simmer function is available on all the surface cooking
elements. It has an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmer
control.
The recommended setting will vary depending on the quantity and
density of the food being cooked as well as the size and shape of
the cookware and if a lid is being used during cooking. The Simmer
setting may be too high for some combinations of food and
cookware. Select a lower heat setting such as Keep Warm or Melt if
the simmer temperature is too high.
To Use:
1. Touch ON or ON/BURNER SIZE.
2. When using the triple element, select the zone diameter by
touching the ON/BURNER SIZE pad until the desired zone
diameter indicator light is glowing.
3. Touch the "+" pad four times for Simmer at the Low setting, five
times for Simmer at the Medium setting, and six times for
Simmer at the High setting.
When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn surface cooking area off.
