Setting Keep Warm - Frigidaire CGEF3035RF Use & Care Manual

Keep warm
(some models)
The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm 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. It is not recommended to heat
cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the
warming zone should be covered with a lid 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 keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm control
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 1).
The temperatures are approximate, and are designated
by hi and lo. However, the control can be set at any
position between hi and lo for different levels of
warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The keep
warm zone will remain warm until the indicator light
goes OFF.

CAUTION
Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not
glow red when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food
from the keep warm zone as cookware and plates will
be hot.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
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.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.
If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the
ceramic cooktop.
