Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone (some models)

The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. 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 or aluminum foil 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 dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.

[Irt_Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone Control

1.To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob (See Fig 2). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different levels of heating.

2.When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone will remain warm until the indicator light goes OFF.

Temperature Selection - Refer to the chart at the side column for recommended heating levels. 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.

Note: Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetab!esl gravies, casseroles, soups,stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
