To Set the Warmer Zone Control:
1. Touch the On/Off pad at the Warmer Zone control position. The Warmer Zone
indicator light will flash. Note: If no further pads are touched within 25 seconds the
request to power the Warmer Zone ON will clear.
2. At the Warmer Zone controls position touch once to turn ON the power level
for HI (see Fig. 2) or to turn ON the power level for LO (see Fig. 5). The
Warmer Zone Indicator light located above the ON/OFF pad will turn on steady and
the Hot Surface indicator light located on the cooktop will turn ON when the
Warmer Zone becomes hot.
3. Each touch or will increase or decrease the power levels. The Warmer
Zone has 5 power levels from HI (see Fig. 2) through MED (see Fig. 4) to LO (see
Fig. 5). The power level may be adjusted at any time while the Warmer Zone is
ON.
4. When the food is ready to serve, touch the On/Off pad once to turn the Warmer Zone
OFF. The Warmer Zone indicator light will turn OFF.
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light located on the cooktop will remain ON if the
cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
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 is OFF. Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) 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). 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.
