Setting the Warming Zone Control (some models)

The purpose of the Warming 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 Warming Zone.
All food placed on the Warming 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 Warming Zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the Warming 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 Warming Zone Control
1. To set the control, push in either direction and turn the knob. 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 done, turn the control to OFF. The Warming Zone will remain warm until
the hot surface 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 Warming Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.

direction to the desired setting as instructed above.
