to operate the warm zone
Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The
purpose of the warm zone is to 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 plate.
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered
with lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best re-
sults, 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 use on the warm zone.
caution
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not
glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven
mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cook-
ware and plates will not be hot
indicator lights
The hot surface indicator light, located under the cooktop,
will come on when the control is set and will continue to
glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to moderate
level.

1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The
temperatures are approximate, and are designate by
HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at
any position between HI and LO for different levels of
heating.

will remain warm until the hot surface indicator light
goes off.
temperature selection
Refer to the chart for recommended heating levels. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium level,

temperatures by using the medium level
