SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Keep warm zone (some models)

The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm feature to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casse- roles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the keep warm 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 to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

To Set the keep warm zone control: CAUTION

The keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the keep warm zone until the keep warm zone hot surface indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the keep warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Keep warm zone temperature selection CAUTION

Do not place 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.

Table 2: Warm zone recommended food settings CAUTION

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.
