Turning on the Warm Zone

Caution
  • FOOD POISON HAZARD : Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140 °F.

    • Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm setting to heat cold food.

    • Do not use the warm setting for more than 2 hours.

    • Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the center warming element.

The Warm Zone, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Use the Warm Zone to keep food warm after it has already been cooked. Attempting to cook uncooked or cold food on the Warm Zone could result in a food-borne illness.

Note
  • For best results, food on the warmer should be kept in its container or covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.

  • The warmer will not glow red like the other cooking elements.

  • The Warming Zone can be operated as a single element on some models.
