Warm Zone
The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods
at serving temperature. Use the warm zone feature 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 with the
warm zone. All food placed on the warm 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 cooktop use on the warm zone.
Unlike other radiant surface element, the
warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. The glass surface
may be still hot and burns can occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled su
ffi
ciently.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates
will not be hot.
Do not place
fl
ammable 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
fi
re if placed too close to the warm zone.
Temperature selection
- Refer to the warm zone
recommended food settings (See Figure 3). If a particular
food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as
needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures
using the medium setting.

cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can
