NOTE:
• All foods should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
• When warming pastries and bread, the cover
should have an opening to allow moisture to
escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic
may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to
clean.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as
safe for cooktop use.
• Always use potholders when removing food from
the Warming Zone as cookware and plates will be
hot.
• Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs
for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.
• Do not heat cold food on the Warming Zone.
• The quantity and type of food being held may
affect the required heat setting
• Do not use large utensils or large amounts of
food as this may cause uneven heating.
• Always hold food at proper food temperatures.
USDA recommends food temperatures between
140˚ - 170˚ F (except pastries).
