Do not use warm setting for more than 2 hours.
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center of
the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to
heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the
WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.

Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when
canning.
Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface
even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the
surface unit until it has cooled completely.
