18 Setting Surface Controls About the warming zone Use the warming zone (Fig. 6) to keep hot cooked foods warm such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. DO NOT heat cold food using the warming zone. Use only plates, cookware and utensils recommended for oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover foods. Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto the ceramic cooktop. The warming zone will not glow red when it becomes hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the warming zone until the warming zone Hot Element (HE) indicator light is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming zone as cookware and plates will be hot. For best results • Always start with hot cooked food. • When warming pastries or breads the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. • All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain moisture. Setting the warming zone • If needed, wake the control panel. • Touch the ON OFF key for the warmer zone . • Press the desired power level key (lo-, med or hi+). For the L2 or L4 level settings use the hi+ or lo- keys to adjust • When the food is ready to serve, touch the OFF key once to turn the warming zone off. Warming zone temperature selection Refer to the recommended warming zone food settings choosing a food type to keep warm -Fig. 5. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium heat level and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures when using the medium setting.
