Operating the Warm Zone
The purpose of the Warm Zone is to keep hot cooked foods
at serving temperature. Use the Warm Zone to keep cooked
foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews,
breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start
with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the
Warm Zone.
All food placed on the Warm Zone should be covered with a
lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when
warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening
to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover
food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very diffi cult to
clean.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven
and cooktop use on the Warm Zone.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the Warm Zone as cookware and plates
will be hot.
To Operate the Warm Zone:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Warm Zone.
2. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. (Figure 2) The
temperatures are approximate, and are designated by
HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any
position between HI and LO for diff erent levels of heating.
3. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warm Zone Hot
Surface indicator light will remain on until the Warm Zone
cools to a moderate level.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warm Zone table for recommended heating
levels (Figure 3). If a particular food is not listed, start with the
medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at
serving temperatures by using the medium level.
The Warm Zone will not glow red when it is hot,
but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands
on or near the Warm Zone until the Warm Zone Hot Surface
indicator light is off .
