Using the warming center
The warming center, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature.
• The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.
| • | Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours. |
CAUTION | • | Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use. |
| ||
| • | Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as |
|
| cookware and plates will be hot. |
| • | When warming pastries and breads, the cover should have an opening to allow |
|
| moisture to escape. |
| • | Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very |
|
| difficult to clean. |
| • | Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to |
|
| maintain food quality. |
| • | Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming |
|
| center could result in illness. |
