WARM HI/LO Function (on Electronic Touch Control models) 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. The WARM HI and WARM LO functions can be used to keep cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or not the other surface cooking zones are in use. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality. The WARM HI and WARM LO functions are available on all the surface cooking elements. WARM HI provides higher temperature warming. The WARM HI function is also ideal for melting chocolate or butter. It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the WARM HI or WARM LO functions are in use, it will not glow red like the cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel. Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use, and that have flat bottoms to make direct contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove cookware. Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape. Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the WARM LO function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes. To Use WARM LO: 1. Touch ON/OFF. 2. Touch the "plus" (+) keypad once for WARM LO. 3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface cooking area. To Use WARM HI: 1. Touch ON/OFF. 2. Touch the "plus" (+) keypad twice for WARM HI. 3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface cooking area. 6
