Warmer Zone - Frigidaire CGIF3061NFB Use & Care Manual

Warmer zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to
keep foods at serving temperature,
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 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 remove. Use only
dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven
and cooktop use.
Warmer zone temperature selection
If a particular food is not listed (See Fig 2), start with the
medium heat level and adjust as needed. Most foods can be
kept at serving temperatures by using the medium heat
level.

To operate warmer zone:
Step
1. Place cookware on the warmer zone.
.
Push in and turn the warmer zone's control knob to the
desired setting, indicated by the semi-circle line around
the knob. You may turn the knob either way (left or right)
to activate the burner. (The warmer zone indicator light
will turn on).
3. When finished, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
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.
• 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. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
• The warmer zone is radiant heat, but it will not glow
red when it is hot.To avoid possible burns always use
potholders or oven mitts when moving food to and from
the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be
hot.
