To
Operate
the Warmer
(Warm & Ready
TM)
Zone
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. Do not heat cold
food on the warmer zone.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. 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
warmer zone.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
To Set the Warmer 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 warmer zone will remain warm until the hot
surface indicator light goes off
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart 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 warmer 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 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.
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 hot surface indicator
light is off.
