Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (continued)
Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone (Model D):
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Use the Warmer 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 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 or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum may melt onto the
surface.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop
use on the Warmer Zone.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Fig. 1). Ifa
particular food isnot listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as 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 or burners.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands
on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light isOFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
