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.
Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow
red when it is hot.
Always use pothoiders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob. The
temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO.
However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for
different levels of heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will remain warm
until the hot surface indicator light goes off.
Temperature Selection - Refer to the chart at the side column for
recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start with the
medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.
