Keep Warm Element
Use the Keep Warm 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 Keep Warm Element can be used alone or when any of the 
other surface cooking areas are being used, and can be set from 
MIN to MAX for different levels of heating.
The Keep Warm Element area will not glow red when cycling on. 
However, its indicator light will glow as long as the Keep Warm 
Element area is too hot to touch.
Use only cookware and dishes 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.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic wrap may melt.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
To Use:
1.
Push in and turn KEEP WARM knob to desired setting.
2.
Turn knob to OFF when finished.
Ceramic Glass
(on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It 
will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat 
level. 
It is normal for the surface of white ceramic glass to appear to 
change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass 
cools, it will return to its original color. 
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it 
free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more 
information, see “General Cleaning” section.
Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a 
heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it.
Do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, 
air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, 
and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface 
indicator light goes off. If not wiped up while warm, surface 
pitting can occur.
Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. 
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on 
cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the 
cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers 
on the cooktop. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot 
be removed completely.
Do not allow objects that could melt, like plastic or aluminum 
foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking 
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) 
outside the area.
1. Surface Cooking Area
2. Cookware/Canner
3. 1" (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and 
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or 
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor 
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler 
across the bottom of the cookware. While rotating the ruler, 
no space or light should be visible between it and the 
cookware.
Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small 
expansion channels can be used.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before 
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or 
sickness.
