Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) (continued)
Setting Warm Zone Control (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.
Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented at the rear of the cooktop. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vents. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. DO NOT block the vents. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage
to the appliance
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, Fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back
into place.
