Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) (continued)
Hot Surface Indicator Light (some models)
Some models have an indicator light located on the ceramic glass cooktop that
glows as soon as the glass begins to warm up. When the heating unit is turned off,
it will continue to glow as long as the glass remains warm enough to cause burns.
Other models have one hot surface indicator per element arranged in a cluster.
Their location is as shown in the illustration above.
Setting Warm Zone controls (some models)
To Operate the warm zone
Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming
pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.
Indicator Lights
The Surface indicator light is located above or below the warm zone control. It turns on
when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The hot surface indicator
light, located under the glass cooktop, will come on when the control is set and will continue
to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to moderate level.
To Set the Warm Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures
are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO.
However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The warm zone will remain warm until the hot surface
indicator light goes off.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart for recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as
needed. Most food can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.
