Warming Element
(on ceramic glass models)
Use the Warming Element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour
is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Element can be used alone or when any of the other
surface cooking areas are being used. The Warming Element area
will not glow red when cycling on. However, its indicator light will
glow as long as the Warming 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. Set switch to ON.
2. Set switch to OFF when finished.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
(on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess
heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more
information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the
Off position.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then
lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.
2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.
3. Lift out the burner bowl.
To Replace:
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element
receptacle.
2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push
coil element terminal into the receptacle.
3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will
go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the
receptacle.
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.
