Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
All food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid to maintain moisture. For best results when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to alow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto the cooktop.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
