Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean. • Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for cooktop use. • Always use potholders when removing food from the Warming Zone as cookware and plates will be hot. • Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate. • Do not heat cold food on the Warming Zone. • The quantity and type of food being held may affect the required heat setting • Do not use large utensils or large amounts of food as this may cause uneven heating. • Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140˚ - 170˚ F (except pastries). 14
