approximately 150°F.

Using the Warming Zone
(on some models)
FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in
food at temperatures below 140°F.
„
Always start with hot food. Do not use warm
setting to heat cold food.
„ Do not use warm setting for more than 2
hours.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
foodborne illness.
The WARMING ZONE, located in the back center
of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food
at serving temperature. Always start with hot
food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE
could result in foodborne illness.
Push and turn the control knob to any desired
setting.
For best results, all foods on the
WARMING
ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil. When warming pastries or breads, the
cover should be vented to allow moisture to
escape.
Use the lowest setting for breads and pastries.
Use a medium setting for vegetables, sauces,
stews, cream soups, butter and chocolate. Use
the highest setting for soups (liquid) and hot
beverages. These initial suggested settings are
for reference only. The temperature, type and
amount of food, type of pan, and the time held
will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the WARMING ZONE,
since cookware and plates will be hot.
NOTE: The surface warmer will not glow red like
the cooking elements.
