To Operate the Warm Zone
The purpose of the warm 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 warm zone.
All food placed on the warm 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 warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red
when it is hot.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
To Set the Warm Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in 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 warm zone will remain warm until
the hot surface indicator light goes off.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in 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.
Indicator Lights
The surface indicator light is located below the warm zone control. It turns
on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The hot
surface indicator light, located under the glass coektop or on the control
panel, will come on when the control is set and will continue to glow until the
glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.
