All foods should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
When warming pastries and bread, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the cooktop surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for cooktop use.
Always use potholders when removing food from the warming zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
Never warm food for longer than one hour (eggs for 30 minutes), as food quality may deteriorate.
Do not heat cold food on the warming zone.
The quantity and type of food being held may affect the required heat setting
Do not use large cookware or large amounts of food as this may cause uneven heating.
Always hold food at proper food temperatures. USDA recommends food temperatures between 140 8 - 170 8 (except pastries).
