Keep warm zone The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. These include foods like; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Keep warm zone temperature selection 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 by using the medium heat level (Refer to Fig. 1). Keep warm zone on cooktop Keep warm zone indicator light Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the keep 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 keep warm zone.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the keep 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 top of the range 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.

If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the ceramic cooktop. 15
