Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the wormer 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 cool<top use on the warmer zone.
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.
