Warming zone temperature selection
Refer to the suggested settings (
Figure 1)
when
choosing a setting for food. If a particular food is
not listed, start with the
med
setting and adjust as
needed. Most foods may be kept at serving
temperatures when using the
med
setting.
-Fig. 2-
Always start with hot, cooked foods. It is not
recommended to heat cold food to serving
temperatures. Foods like vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and pastries
work well on the warming zone. The warming zone
works well for warming oven-safe dinner plates.

Setting Surface Controls
CAUTION
•
Unlike other surface elements, the warming
zone 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
warming zone. Cookware or plates
will be
hot.
•
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 flammable items
such as
plastic salt & pepper shakers, spoon holders,
plastic wrappings or aluminum foil 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.
