Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone (Model D):

The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Use the Warmer Zone 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 Warmer Zone.

All food placed on the warmer 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 or

aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the

surface.

Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop

use on the Warmer Zone.

Warmer Zone Temperature Selection

Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Fig. 1). 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.

To Set the Warmer Zone Control:

1. Touch the

pad at the Warmer Zone control position. The Warmer Zone

On/Off

indicator light will flash. Note: If no further pads are touched within 25 seconds the

request to power the Warmer Zone ON will clear.

2. At the Warmer Zone controls position touch

for HI (see Fig. 2) or

Warmer Zone Indicator light located above the ON/OFF pad will turn on steady and

the Hot Surface indicator light located on the cooktop will turn ON when the

Warmer Zone becomes hot.

3. Each touch

Zone has 5 power levels from HI (see Fig. 2) through MED (see Fig. 4) to LO (see

Fig. 5). The power level may be adjusted at any time while the Warmer Zone is

ON.

4. When the food is ready to serve, touch the

OFF. The Warmer Zone indicator light will turn OFF.

Note: The Hot Surface indicator light located on the cooktop will remain ON if the

cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled

sufficiently.

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 aluminum foil or plastic items such as 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 or burners.

The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands

on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when

removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
