About the warmer zone
Use the warmer zone (Fig. 6) to keep hot cooked
foods warm such as; vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner plates. DO NOT heat cold food
using the warmer zone.
Use only plates, cookware and utensils
recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop use.
Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to
cover foods. Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto
the ceramic cooktop.
The warmer zone will not glow red when it
becomes hot, but becomes hot enough to
cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the
warmer zone until the warmer zone Hot Element
(HE) indicator light is OFF. Always use
potholders or oven mitts when removing food
from the warmer zone as cookware and plates
will be hot.

settings choosing a food type to keep warm -Fig.
5-. If a particular food is not listed, start with the

foods can be kept at serving temperatures when
