Using the warming center
The
warming center
, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food
at serving temperature.
•
The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.
CAUTION
• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as
cookware and plates will be hot.
• When warming pastries and breads, use covers that have an opening to allow
moisture to escape.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very
difficult to clean off.
• Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain food quality.
• Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming
center could result in illness.
