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.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended

for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

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.

If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the

ceramic cooktop.

Setting the keep warm zone control:
1. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the

desired setting (See Fig 1). The temperatures are

approximate, and are designated by hi and lo.

However, the control may 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 hot until the indicator light

turns OFF.

• Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will

not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use

potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

cooktop including 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 the cooktop 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.
