Keep Warm
The Keep Warm function is available on all the surface cooking
elements, has three settings and is ideal for keeping cooked foods
warm. The lowest setting is for delicate sauces, the medium setting
is for soups, and the highest setting is for soups and meats. Do not
use it to heat cold foods. One hour is the recommended maximum
time to maintain food quality.
■ Use only cookware 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. Touch ON.
2. Touch the “+” pad twice for KEEP WARM at the Low setting,
three times for Medium, and four times for High.
When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn surface cooking area off.
Simmer
The Simmer function is available on all the surface cooking
elements. It has an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmer
control.
The recommended setting will vary depending on the quantity and
density of the food being cooked as well as the size and shape of
the cookware and if a lid is being used during cooking. The Simmer
setting may be too high for some combinations of food and
cookware. Select a lower heat setting, such as Keep Warm or Melt,
if the Simmer temperature is too high.
To Use:
1. Touch ON.
2. Touch the “+” pad five times for SIMMER at the Low setting
and six times for SIMMER at the High setting.
When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn surface cooking area off.
Performance Boost Function
This function allows you to increase the heat setting level above the
maximum heat setting for 10 minutes or less.
NOTES:
Performance Boost function is available on only 1 surface cooking
area at a time within a zone. See the following illustrations for
zones.
If you attempt to use Performance Boost on more than one surface
cooking area in the same zone, the first surface cooking area
selected for Performance Boost will automatically be set back to
the highest power available setting. The last surface cooking area
selected will be set to Performance Boost.
1. Advance to the HIGH heat setting for the selected element.
2. Press the “+” keypad to advance to the Boost setting.
3. Press the “-” keypad to reduce the power setting to a lower
level, or press OFF to turn the element Off.
NOTE: The Performance boost function may automatically
deactivate to keep the internal electronic components of the
cooktop from becoming too hot.
Ceramic Glass
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number
31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your
ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for
additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
■ 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 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.
■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
