About the warmer zone

Use the warmer zone (Fig. 6) to keep hot cooked foods warm such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. DO NOT heat cold food using the warmer zone.

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

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

Warmer zone temperature selection

Refer to the recommended warmer zone food settings choosing a food type to keep warm -Fig.5-. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium heat level and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures when using the medium setting.
