Setting Warm Zone
Controls (if equipped)
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
To Operate the Warm Zone
The purpose of the warm 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 warm zone.
All food placed on the warm 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 warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm 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.
To Set the Warm Zone Control
1.To set the control, push in 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 warm zone will remain warm until the hot surface indicator light goes off.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in 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.
