Setting Warmer Zone
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.
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 (Figure 1). 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.
To Set the Warmer Zone Control:
NOTE: The controls and indicator light are located on the
control panel.
1. Touch the ON/OFF pad at the Warmer Zone control position.
The Warmer Zone indicator light will ash. Note: If no further
pads are touched within 25 seconds the request to power the
Warmer Zone ON will clear.
2. At the Warmer Zone controls position touch Hi once to turn
ON the power level for HI (see Figure 2) or Lo to turn ON
the power level for LO (see Figure 5). The Warmer Zone
Indicator light located at the right of the ON/OFF pad
will turn on steady and the Hot Surface indicator light will
turn ON when the Warmer Zone becomes hot.
3. Each touch Hi or Lo will increase or decrease the power
levels. The Warmer Zone has 5 power levels from Hi (see
Figure 2) through Med (see Figure 4) to Lo (see Figure 5).
The power level may be adjusted at any time while the
Warmer Zone is ON.
4. When it is time to serve the food, touch the ON/OFF pad
once to turn the Warmer Zone OFF. The Warmer Zone
indicator light will turn OFF (see Figure 3).
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the
cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface
area has cooled suciently.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is
hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing
hands on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot
Surface indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven
mitts when removing food from the warmer zone as cookware
and plates will be hot.

still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled suciently.

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 re
if placed too close to the surface elements or burners.
