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 flash. 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 sufficiently.

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.

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.
