To Operate the warm zone
Your appliance isequipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone isto keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner
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 warp to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop useon the warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it ishot. Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

when the control isset, and stayson until the control isturned off. The hot surface indicator
light, located under the glasscooktop, will come on when the control isset and will continue
to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to moderate level.
