WARM
ZONE
Use the Warm Zone to keep food warm after it has already
been cooked. The warm zone is not meant for cooking food.
Attempting to cook uncooked or cold food on the warm
zone could result in a food-borne illness.
1. Press the Warm Zone's ON/OFF button. The warm zone
indicator light will flash.
2. Press the + button once to set the temperature to Hi,
or the – button once to set the temperature to Lo. The
power level sequence is Lo, 2, 3, 4, Hi when using the –
button, or the reverse when using the + button.
3. Use the – / + buttons to adjust the temperature settings.
The temperature settings are adjustable at all times.
4. To turn off the warming zone, press the ON/OFF button
once.
• Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for oven
and cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the
cooktop and oven.
• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
• DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover food while on the
cooktop. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be
very difficult to clean.
• When using the warming zone, food should be kept in
its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil
to maintain food quality.
• DO NOT leave food on the warming zone for more
than two hours.

Home Canning Tips
Be sure that the canner is centered over the surface unit
and is flat on the bottom.
• The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the
element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms
may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil
and the cooktop may be damaged.
• Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smooth surfaces.
• Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a
boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
• Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil,
or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop
may be damaged.
