Using the Warming element
(Model KECC563H)
Use the Warming element to keep cooked
foods warm. It is not recommended for
heating cold foods. Choose the LO
setting for heat-sensitive and smaller
quantities of food. Choose the HI setting for
liquids and larger quantities of food. Adjust
as needed.
To set the Warming element:
1. Push in and turn the control knob to the
desired setting from LO to HI for different
levels of heating.
2. Turn the knob to OFF when finished. The
Keep Warm element will remain warm
until the surface indicator light on the
cooktop goes off.
•
Cover all foods with a lid. Do not use plas-
tic wrap to cover food because it may melt
onto the cooktop surface. When warming
baked goods, allow a small opening in the
cover for moisture to escape.
•
Use only cookware and dishes
recommended for oven and cooktop use.
•
Use potholders or oven mitts to remove
food.
•
Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting.
See “Cleaning the cooktop and control
panel” in the “Caring for Your Cooktop”
section for more information.
•
Wiping off the cooktop before and after
each use will help keep the surface free from
stains and give you the most even heating.
See “Cleaning the cooktop and control
panel” in the “Caring for Your Cooktop”
section for care and cleaning suggestions.
