Dual Zone Cooking Element
The Dual Zone cooking element offers exibility depending on the
size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as
a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.
Melt Cooking Element (on some models)
The Melt cooking element offers exibility due to a wide range of
settings between Hi and Melt. The Hi heat option can be used to
boil small amounts of liquid quickly. The lowest setting can be
used to prepare sauces and to keep foods at a low temperature.
Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt element.
Warm Zone
Use the cooktop Warm Zone to keep cooked foods warm. One
hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warm Zone can be used alone or when any of the other
surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warm Zone area will not glow red when cycling on. However,
the Cooktop On indicator light will be displayed when the Warm
Zone is in use.
■ 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.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap
tocover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
To Use:
1. To turn on, press WARM ZONE andthenthe Start keypad.
2. To turn off, press WARM ZONE.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and a
well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough nishes 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surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat
is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick nish
has thesame characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick nish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under
thebroiler.
Check for atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space
or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
