gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-
safe dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the
wormer 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.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cool<top use on the warmer zone.
Setting wormer zone control:
1. Push in either direction and
turn the warmer zone control
knob to the desired
temperature level (See Fig 2).
The temperatures are
approximate, and are
designated by HI (high), MED
(medium) and LO (low).
However, the control can be
set at any position between
HI and LO for different levels
of warming.

Unlike other radiant surface elements, the
warmer zone will not glow red when it is HOT. The glass
surface moy still be hot and burns can occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the wormer zone as cookware and
plates will be hot.
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. Pothoiders, towels or wooden spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
I_ Do not allow olumlnum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookwore or ANY moterlol that con melt to
make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt
on the cool<top they may damage the ceramic cool<top.
