Warmer Zone (some models)
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer zone feature to
keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables,
gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven safe
dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the
warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer 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. Use only dish ware, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
warmer zone.
1. Push in either direction and turn the warmer zone control
knob to the desired temperature level. The temperatures are
approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED
(medium) and LO (low). However, the control can be set at
any position between HI and LO for different levels of
warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone control knob to
OFF position. The warmer zone will remain hot until the hot
surface indicator light turns off.
Important notes:
• Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can
melt onto the cooktop.
Refer to the warmer zone recommended food settings below. If
a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level, and
adjust as needed.

Unlike other radiant surface elements, the
warmer zone will not glow red when it is HOT. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns can 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.Do not allow aluminum
foil, empty glass-porcelain cookware or any material that can
melt to make contact with the ceramic cooktop.
