FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Setting Warmer Zone Controi
Operating the Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Zone
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.
Ail food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid
to maintain moisture. 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 foil may melt onto the cooktop.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven
and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.
