•Unlike other radiant elements on conventional ranges, the
warming zone wilt not glow red when it is hot. To avoid
possible burns always use potholders or oven mitts when
moving food to and from the warming zone. Cookware or
plates wilt be hot.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after
they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be
hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt & pepper
shakers, spoon holders, plastic wrappings or aluminum foil
on top of the range when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the warmer zone.
