Power Management
The cooking zones, which consist of paired
cooking elements, are restricted to drawing a
certain maximum amount of power.
If you turn on the Boost function for one element
while its paired element is in use, the Power
Management function may automatically reduce
the power of both elements. For consistent
performance when using multiple elements, use
elements in separate cooking zones.
NOTE
• If the combined heat of the oven and the surface
burners is sufficiently high, the output of the
surface burners is reduced to avoid damage to
the product.
• Both elements in a set of paired elements cannot
use the Boost mode at the same time. To use the
Boost mode on two elements simultaneously,
use non-paired elements.
Turning on the Warm Zone
CAUTION
• FOOD POISON HAZARD : Bacteria may grow in
food at temperatures below 140 °F.
- Always start with hot food. Do not use the
warm setting to heat cold food.
- Do not use the warm setting for more than 2
hours.
The Warm Zone, located in the back right of the
glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Use the Warm 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.
1
Push the Warm Zone element knob in.
2
Turn the knob in either direction to the
desired setting.
For best results:
• When warming pastries or breads, leave an
opening in the cover to allow moisture to
escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.
• Use only dishware, utensils and cookware that
are recommended for oven and cooktop use.
• Food on the warmer should be kept in its
container or covered with a lid or aluminum foil
to maintain food quality.
• Do not allow aluminum foil to contact the hot
induction cooktop surface.
If a particular food is not listed , start with the
medium heat level and adjust as needed. Most
foods can be kept at serving temperatures by
using the medium heat level.
