Keep Warm
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-
fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the
same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum
cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of
aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.

Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or
light should be visible between it and the cookware.
