The purpose of the keep warm zone is to keep hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the keep warm
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 keep warm zone. All food placed on the
warming 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 melt onto the surface and be very
difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
keep warm zone.
Setting the keep warm 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
keep warm zone will remain warm until the indicator
light goes OFF.
CAUTION
Temperature selection - Refer to the keep warm
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.

damage the ceramic cooktop.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
• Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will
not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or
oven mitts when removing food from the keep warm
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
• 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 flammable items such as plastic 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.
