To Operate the warm zone
Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries
and oven-safe dinner
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when
warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover
food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.
Indicator Lights
The Hot Surface indicator light is located above or
below the warm zone control. It turns on when the
control is set and will continue to glow until the glass
cooktop has cooled down to moderate level.
To Set the Warm Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The
temperatures are approximate, and are designated
by hi, med and lo. However, the control can be set
at any position between hi and lo for different
levels of heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF position. The
warm zone will remain warm until the hot surface
indicator light goes off.
