Using the electric glass top warming zone (on some models).
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass—the glass is scratch resistant,
not scratch proof.
DRAGGING
About the glass surface (on some models)…
The
WARMING ZONE
features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
The
WARMING ZONE
unit will cycle on
and off to maintain your selected control
setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the
glass surface even when the cooktop
is cool.
■
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
■
Use of window cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning
cream will remove this discoloration.
■
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
■
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On some models with a white glass
cooktop, it is normal for the surface to appear
discolored when it is hot. This is temporary and
will disappear as the glass cools.
SURFACE
COOKING
Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware.
OFF CENTER
Always place the pan in the center of
the warming zone.
The
WARMING ZONE
, located in the back
center of the glass surface, will keep hot,
cooked food at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. Do not use
to heat cold food.
Push and turn the control knob to any
desired setting.
For best results, all foods on the
WARMING ZONE
should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be
vented to allow moisture to escape.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the
WARMING ZONE
,
as cookware and plates will be hot.
A
HOT
surface indicator light will glow
when the glass surface is hot and will
remain on until the surface is cool
enough to touch.
A
WARMING ZONE
indicator light will
glow when the unit is on.
NOTE: The WARMING ZONE cannot be used
during a self-clean cycle.
■
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.
■
Use only cookware recommended for oven
or top-of-range cooking.
