WARMER ZONE

Fig. 2

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.

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.
