Surface Cooking
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.
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
(Figure 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.

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.
