Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)
The Dual Zone Cooking Element offers flexibility 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.
Rapid Boil Element (on some models)
The Rapid Boil Element offers additional cooking flexibility. The 
Rapid Boil element can be used to boil liquids faster. The lowest 
melt setting can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or saute 
foods and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware 
appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil Element.
Warm Zone Element (on some models)
Use the Warm Zone element 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 element can be used alone or when any of the 
other surface cooking areas are being used.
The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. 
However, the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop Warm 
Zone element 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 push button.
2. To turn off, press WARM ZONE push button a second time.
Cookware
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 and 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 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.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the 
broiler.
Check for flatness 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.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.
