WARMING ZONE
FOOD POISON HAZARD
Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F.
• Always start with hot food. Do not use the warming zone to heat cold
food.
• Do not use the warming zone for more than 2 hours.
The warming zone, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep
hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Use the warming zone to keep food
warm after it has already been cooked.
Attempting to cook uncooked or cold food on the warming zone could result
in a food-borne illness.
NOTE:
• 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.
• The warmer will not glow red like the other cooking elements.
HOT SURFACE INDICATOR
The hot surface indicator light glows and indicates that one or more cooktop
elements are still hot. When the hot surface indicator turns off, the glass
surface may still feel slightly hot to touch.
NOTE:
• The hot surface indicator light remains on after the element is turned
off and until the surface has cooled to approximately 150°F.
• The hot surface indicator may illuminate when the cooktop heats up
during self-clean or long baking cycle. This is normal.
