Operating the Warm Zone Feature
(Some Ceramic Glass Cooktop
models only)
To operate
the warm zone
Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The
purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. Always start with hot food. [t is not
recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such
as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews,
breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plate.
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered
with lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best re-
sults, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should
have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not
use plastic warp to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the
surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

heating levels. If a
