Warm & Ready™ Zone

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer zone feature (See Fig. 1) to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven- safe dinner plates.

Fig. 1

Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with 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. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warmer zone.

Setting warmer zone control:

 

1. Push in either direction and

 

turn the warmer zone control

 

knob to the desired

 

temperature level (See Fig 2).

 

The temperatures are

 

approximate, and are

 

designated by HI (high), MED

 

(medium) and LO (low).

 

However, the control can be

 

set at any position between

 

HI and LO for different levels

 

of warming.

2.When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone control knob to OFF position. The warmer zone will remain hot until the hot surface indicator light turns OFF.

Important notes:

•The warmer zone temperature level may be adjusted at any time when the warmer zone is turned ON.

•Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can melt onto the cooktop.

Temperature selection - Refer to the warmer zone recommended food settings (See Fig. 3). 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.

Unlike other radiant surface elements, the warmer zone will not glow red when it is HOT. The glass surface may still be hot and burns can occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

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

Do not place flammable items such as plastic 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.

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.
