Warming zone

The purpose of the warming zone is to maintain cooked foods at serving temperatures.

Always start with hot, cooked foods. It is not recommended to heat cold food to serving temperatures. Foods like vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and pastries work well on the warming zone. The warming zone works well for warming oven-safe dinner plates.

Warming zone temperature selection

Refer to the suggested settings (Figure 1) when choosing a setting for food. If a particular food is not listed, start with the med setting and adjust as needed. Most foods may be kept at serving temperatures when using the med setting.

CAUTION

•Unlike other surface elements, the warming zone will not glow red when it is hot. To avoid possible burns always use potholders or oven mitts when moving food to and from the warming zone. Cookware or plates will be hot.

•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 flammable items such as plastic salt & pepper shakers, spoon holders, plastic wrappings or aluminum foil 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.
