Operating the Warmer Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the
warmer 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 warmer zone. All food placed on
the warmer 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 warmer zone.
IMPORTANT
• Use only plates, utensils and cookware
recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop
use. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil
to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can melt
onto the cooktop.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the warmer
zone.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in
either direction to the desired setting. Turn the
knob to adjust the setting if desired.
3. When it is time to serve food, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware.

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 suffi 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/
porcelain cookware or any material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop
they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
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.
