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. It is not recommended to
heat cold food on 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.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended
for oven and cooktop use on the wamer zone.
Setting the warmer zone control
1. Push in either direction and turn the knob (See
Fig 1). The temperatures are approximate, and are
designated by hi and lo. 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 control to OFF. The
warmer zone will remain warm until the indicator
light goes OFF.
CAUTION
Temperature selection - Refer to the warmer zone
recommended food settings table (See Fig. 2). 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.
