Using the Warming Zone (on some models)
Safety
The WARMING ZONE is located in the back center of the glass surface. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.
To use the WARMING ZONE:
Touch the WARMING ZONE ON/OFF pad.
Touch the 1 (LO), 2 (MED) or 3 (HI) pad to select the desired control setting.
Touch the START pad. “WARMER ON” will be in the control display.
To turn off the WARMING ZONE:
Touch the WARMING ZONE ON/OFF pad.
NOTE: The CLEAR/OFF pad will not turn off the
WARMING ZONE.
For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, as cookware will be hot.
A HOT surface indicator light will glow when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch. Lower settings may not heat the glass surface enough to cause the HOT surface indicator light to come on.
