Keep warm zone

The purpose of the keep warm zone
is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. These include foods like;
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
keep warm 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.
Keep warm zone temperature selection
If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium heat
level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at
serving temperatures by using the medium heat level (Refer
to Fig. 1).

CAUTION
• Unlike other surface elements, the keep warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot.To avoid possible burns
always use potholders or oven mitts when moving food
to and 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.
