Setting Surface Controls
Warm Zone Surface Element (Some models)
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer zone feature
to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe
dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the
warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should
be covered with a lid to maintain quality.
For best results, when keeping pastries or breads warm, the
cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven and cooktop use on the warmer zone.
_rl__ Unlike other radiant surface element, the
warmer zone will not glow red when it is hot. The glass
surface may be still hot and burns can occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
F_'_ Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and
plates will not be hot.
_Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt
or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Important notes:
• Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can
melt onto the cooktop.
