Using the Warming Zone The WARMING ZONE, located in the center of the glass cooktop surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food.

For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will be hot. CAUTION: Do not warm food on the WARMING ZONE for more than two hours. NOTE: The warming zone will not glow red like the cooking elements. HOT will be displayed when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch. NOTE: Lower settings may not heat the glass surface enough to cause the HOT indicator light to come on. A warming zone ON light will glow when the unit is on. s Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
