Operating the Warmer (Warm & R e a d y Z o n e

The Warm & Ready™ zone radiant element is located at the center rear position (Figure

1). 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.

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 is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing

food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

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 WarmerZone.
