Using the COOK-WARM Zone
The COOK-WARMZONE,located in the back
center of the glass surface, will keep hot,
cooked food at serving temperature. Always
start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold
food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the
COOK-WARMZONE could result in food-borne
illness.
Push and turn the control knob to any desired
setting.
For best results, all foods on the
COOK-WARMZONE should be covered
with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the COOK-WARMZONE,as
cookware and plates will be hot.
A CAUTION:
oo not warm food on
the COOK-WARMZONE for more than two
hours.
NOTE:The surface cook-warm zone will not
glow red like the cooking elements.
A HOTsurface indicator light will glow when the
glass surface is hot and will remain on until the
surface is cool enough to touch. Lower settings
may not heat the glass surface enough to cause
the HOTsurface indicator light to come on.
A COOK-WARMZONE indicator light will glow
when the unit is on.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very
difficult to clean.
Use only cookware recommended for top-of-
range cooking.
