Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.

■
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.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Determine 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 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.

Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
The Warm Zone element can be used alone or when any of the
other surface cooking areas are being used.

However, the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop Warm
Zone element is in use.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when
heated.
■
Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on
the cooktop.
■
Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to
escape.
