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.
The STEADYTEMP TMwarming zone is used to keep cooked
foods warm, and may be used whether the other surface cooking
zones are in use or not. It is not recommended for heating cold
foods. The warming zone will not glow red like the cooking
zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and
cooktop use, and that have flat bottoms to make direct contact
with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to
remove cookware.
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface.
When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover
for moisture to escape.
Food quality may deteriorate if it is kept on the STEADYTEMP TM
warming zone for an extended period of time. For best results,
hold food no longer than 30 to 45 minutes. Choose the MIN
setting for heat-sensitive and smaller quantities of foods. Choose
the MAX setting for liquids and larger quantities of foods. Adjust
as needed.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting from
MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.
2. Turn to OFF when finished. The warming zone will remain
warm until the hot surface indicator light on the control panel
goes off.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. Canners should not extend more than
1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened. See back cover for ordering instructions.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies who
manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
On some models, griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be
used in the broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
