Setting Surface Controls
Warm & Ready™ Zone (some models)
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.
Unlike other radiant surface elements, the
warmer zone will not glow red when it is HOT. The glass
surface may still be hot and burns can occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and
plates will be hot.
Do not place flammable 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 fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
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 warmer zone
recommended food settings (See Fig. 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.

Important notes:
• The warmer zone temperature level may be adjusted at
any time when the warmer zone is turned ON.
• 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.

Setting warmer zone control:
1. Push in either direction and
turn the warmer zone control
knob to the desired
temperature level (See Fig 2).
The temperatures are
approximate, and are
designated by HI (high), MED
(medium) and LO (low).
However, the control can be
set at any position between
HI and LO for different levels
of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone control
knob to OFF position. The warmer zone will remain hot
until the hot surface indicator light turns OFF.
