Cooktop Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved in induction cooking may
create some background noises. You may hear a slight buzzing
sound when cooking on the cooktop.
These noises are part of the induction cooking process and are
considered normal.
Some cookware will buzz depending on the construction or base
material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the contents of
the pan are cold. As the pan heats, the noise will decrease. The
noise will also decrease if the power level setting is reduced.
Important note:
When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are more
noticeable while cooking at the Pb level. Very loud noises are
not part of normal induction cooking.
Warm Zone
The purpose of the warm zone is to keep foods at serving
temperature and to warm oven-safe dishware. Cover all food on
the warm zone with a lid to maintain quality. For best results
when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an
opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to
cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be difficult to
remove. Use only dishware, utensils, and cookware recom-
mended for oven and cooktop use.
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not heat cold food
on the warm zone. Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
The warm zone is radiant heat, but it will not
glow red when it is hot. To avoid possible burns, always use
potholders or oven mitts when moving food to and from the
warm zone because cookware and plates will be hot.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled.
Do not place flammable items (plastic salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders, plastic wrappings, etc.) on top of
the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot
holders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to the surface elements.
To operate warm zone:
1. Place cookware on the warm zone.
2. Press for the warm zone position. (The warm zone indicator
light will turn on.)
3. Press
until desired temperature setting is displayed.
(See Figure 18)
4. When finished, press .
Warm Zone Temperature Selection
If a particular food is not listed (See Table 2), start with the
