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.

The Warm Zone, located in the back right 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.

For best results:

If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium heat level and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium heat level.
