WARMING CENTER
• All foods should be covered with a lid
or aluminum foil to maintain food
quality.
• When warming pastries and breads,
the cover should have an opening to
allow moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover
foods. Plastic may melt on to the
surface and be very difficult to clean.
• Use only cookware and dishes rec-
ommended as safe for oven and
cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when remov-
ing food from the Warming Center as
cookware and plates will be hot.
• Never warm food for longer than
one hour (eggs 30 minutes), as food
quality may deteriorate.
• It is not recommended to heat cold
food on the Warming Center.
• The quantity and type of food being
held may affect the required heat
setting.
• Do not use large utensils or large
amounts of food as this may cause
uneven heating.
• Always hold food at proper food tem-
peratures. USDA recommends food
temperatures between 140° - 170° F
(except pastries).
NOTES:
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and
odor the first few times the cooktop
is used. This is normal.
• When a control is turned on, a red
glow can be seen through the glass-
ceramic surface. The element will
cycle on and off to maintain the
preset heat setting.
• The glass-ceramic surface may
appear discolored when it is hot.
This is normal and will disappear
when the surface cools.
• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat
for a period of time after the unit is
turned off. When the HOT SURFACE
light turns off, the cooking area will
be cool enough to touch.
• NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the
cooktop.
NOTES:
COOKING AREAS
The cooking areas on your range are
identified by permanent patterns on the
glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient
cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than
1
/
2
to
1-inch beyond the cooking area.
TIPS TO PROTECT THE
GLASS-CERAMIC
SURFACE
• Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See
Cleaning, page 8.)
• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch
the surface.
• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean
immediately. (See Cleaning, page 8.)
• Never let a pan boil dry as this will
damage the surface and pan.
