Setting Surface Controls
Cooktop
Operational
Noises
The electronic
processes
involved in induction cooking
may
create
some background
noises. You may hear a slight buzzing
sound when cooking
on the cooktop.
These noises are part of
the induction
cooking
process and are considered
normal.
Some cookware
will buzz depending
on the construction
or base
material.
The buzz may be more noticeable
if the contents
of
the pan are cold. As the pan heats, the noise will decrease.
The
noise will also decrease
if the power
level setting
is reduced.
Important
note:
When
using the induction
cooktop,
operational
noises are more
noticeable
while cooking
at the Pb level. Very
loud noises are
not part of normal
induction
cooking.
Warm Zone
The purpose
of the warm
zone is to keep foods
at serving
temperatures
and to warm
oven-safe
dishware.
Cover all food
on the warm
zone with a lid to maintain
quality.
Always
start
with hot food.
Do not heat cold food
with
the warm
zone. For
best results when warming
pastries
or breads,
the cover
should
have an opening
to allow
moisture
to escape.
Do not use plastic
wrap
to cover food.
Plastic
may melt onto the surface
and be
difficult
to remove.
Use only dishware,
utensils, and cookware
recommended
for oven and cooktop
use.
To set the warm zone control:
Food Poisoning
Hazard.
Do not heat cold food
on the warm
zone. Doing
so can result in food
poisoning
or
sickness.
The warm
zone is radiant
heat, but it will not
glow
red when it is hot. To avoid
possible
burns, always
use
potholders
or oven mitts when moving
food
to and from the
warm
zone because
cookware
and plates will be hot.
Radiant
surface
elements
may appear
to have
cooled
after
they have been turned
off. The glass surface
may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface
is touched
before
it has cooled.
Do not place
flammable
items (plastic
salt and
pepper
shakers, spoon holders,
plastic
wrappings,
etc.) on top of
the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Pot
holders,
towels, or wooden
spoons could catch fire if placed
too
close to the surface
elements.
