Warm Zone Use the warm zone feature to keep cooked foods hot. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone. All food placed on the warm 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. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone. Setting the warm zone control: 1. Push in the knob and turn in either direction (see Figure 8). The temperatures are designated by hi and lo. However, the control can be set at any position between hi and lo for different levels of warming. 2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The hot surface indicator light will remain on until the warm zone cools. . CAUTION • Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop, including the warm zone, as cookware and plates will be hot. • Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently. • Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard: do not let food sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Doing so may result in food borne illness. Temperature selection - Refer to the recommended warm zone settings table (see Table 2). 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Warm Zone

Use the warm zone feature to keep cooked foods hot.

Always start with hot food.

It is not recommended to heat

cold food on the warm zone. All food placed on the warm

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.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt

onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only

dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for oven

and cooktop use on the warm zone.

Setting the warm zone control:

Push in the knob and turn in either direction (see

Figure 8

). The temperatures are designated by hi and

lo. However, the control can be set at any position

between hi and lo for different levels of warming.

When ready to serve, turn the control to

OFF

. The hot

surface indicator light will remain on until the warm zone

cools.

Temperature selection

- Refer to

the recommended warm zone

settings table (see

Table 2

). 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.

•

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not

glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use

potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

cooktop, including the warm zone, as cookware and

plates will be hot.

•

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off.

The glass surface

may still be hot

and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

•

Do not

place flammable items such as plastic salt

and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic

wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These

items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or

wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to

the surface elements.

CAUTION

Food Poisoning Hazard: do not let food sit for more than 1

hour before or after cooking. Doing so may result in food

borne illness.
