Using the Warming Zone
(on some models)
The
WARMING ZONE
is located in the
back center of the glass surface. 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.
To use the
WARMING ZONE
:
Turn the
WARMING ZONE
knob to the
setting you want, from
HI
to
LO
.
To turn off the
WARMING ZONE
:
Turn the
WARMING ZONE
knob to
OFF
.
For best results, all foods on the
WARMING ZONE
should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil.
Always use pot holders or oven
mitts when removing food from the
WARMING ZONE
, as cookware will be hot.
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.
NOTE:
The
WARMING ZONE
will not glow red
like the cooking elements.

The chart above shows initial suggested settings only.
The temperature, type and amount of food, type of pan
and the time held will affect the quality of the food.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to clean.
