If possible, turn the units off and allow foods to finish cooking with the retained heat. It may be necessary to remove the pan from the unit to prevent further cooking, also.

Medium High Brown meat, heat oil for deep fat frying or to continue a rapid boil. Medium Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies Medium Low Continue cooking covered foods or steam foods.

CAUTION The Cooktop Warm Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but it does become hot enough to cause burns. Always use oven mittens when removing food from the Warm Zone as cookware and plates will be hot. Use only cookware recommended for top-of-range cooking. Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean. 15
