Using the Warming Zone
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 food-borne
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.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the
WARMING ZONE
,
since cookware and plates will be hot.
CAUTION:
Do not warm food on the
WARMING ZONE
for more than two hours.
NOTE:
The surface warmer will not glow red like the
cooking elements.
A
HOT
surface indicator light will glow when
the glass surface is hot and will remain on
until the surface is cool enough to touch.
Lower settings may not heat the glass surface
enough to cause the
HOT
surface indicator
light to come on.
A
WARMING ZONE
indicator light will glow
when the unit is on.
■
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
■
Use only cookware recommended for top-of-range
cooking.
