Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone
The Warm & Ready TM zone radiant element is located at the center rear position (Figure
1). The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies,
casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start
with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the
warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

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. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the
surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use
on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels. If a particular
food is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods
can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium level.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been
turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled
sufficiently.
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as 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 fire if placed too close to the surface elements or burners.
