Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food. Placing uncooked or cold food on the WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness. To use the WARMING ZONE: Turn the WARMING ZONE knob to the setting you want, from HI to LO. To turn off the WARMING ZONE: Turn the WARMING ZONE knob to OFF. For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. Food Type Sauces Soups (cream) Stews Vegetables Hot Beverages Soups (other than cream) Breads/Pastries Control Setting LO MED MED MED HI HI LO The chart above shows initial suggested settings only. The temperature, type and amount of food, type of pan and the time held will affect the quality of the food. CAUTION: Do not leave food on the WARMING ZONE for more than 2 hours. s Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, as cookware will be hot. s Use only cookware recommended for top-of-range cooking. A HOT surface indicator light will glow when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface is cool enough to touch. Lower settings may not heat the glass surface enough to cause the HOT surface indicator light to come on. NOTE: The WARMING ZONE will not glow red like the cooking elements. 9
