Warm Zone Element
(on some models)
The Warm Zone feature can be used to keep cooked foods
warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain
food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
When the Keep Warm function is in use, it will not glow red like
the cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control
panel.
The Warm Zone feature can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from
Low to High for different levels of heating.
The Warm Zone Element area will not glow red when cycling on.
However, the hot surface indicator light will glow as long as the
Warm Zone Element area is too hot to touch.
■ Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven
and cooktop use.
■ Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for
moisture to escape.
■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may
melt.
■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn Warm Zone knob to desired setting.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
ACCUSIMMER
®
Feature
(on some models)
The ACCUSIMMER
®
feature setting is an adjustable heat setting
for more precise simmering.
The ACCUSIMMER
®
control knob has two settings: Simmer and
Normal. When the control is set on Normal, the element will
function as a single, a dual, or a triple element.
When the ACCUSIMMER control knob is set on Simmer, the
cooking area will not glow red. This is normal. Only the outer
heating ring will glow red on the triple circuit element when
medium or high simmer is selected.
To Use:
1. Turn the ACCUSIMMER
®
control knob to the SIMMER
position.
2. Push in and turn control knob to a setting between Low and
High setting.
Select Low for a low simmer or when using lids and medium
for a high simmer or when not using lids. Select either the
Single, Dual, or Triple Zone setting. Increase heat as
necessary to achieve desired simmer. (See “Dual/Triple-
Circuit Element” section.)
3. Turn the ACCUSIMMER
®
control knob back to the NORMAL
setting when finished cooking.
COOKTOP USE
Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when
an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle
on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also
randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High, to
keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On
cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may
be more visible, and may require more cleaning and attention.
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For
more information, see “General Cleaning” section.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop
and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
