Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready
TM)
Zone (some models)
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil 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 very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
