Placing uncooked or cold food on the warming zone could result in foodborne illness. For best results, all food 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.

A hot surface indicator light will glow when the glass surface is hot and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove. 9
