Warmer drawer controls
The warmer drawer controls are located on the control
panel. Use the warmer drawer control keypads to turn the
warmer drawer ON and OFF and make temperature
adjustments. Three available heat settings are provided
from low to high (See Fig. 2).
Warmer drawer indicator light
The warmer drawer indicator light is located beside the
warmer drawer keypad (See Fig. 1). It glows when the
warmer drawer is turned ON, and remains on until the
warmer drawer is turned OFF.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and
plates will be hot and you can be burned.

keypad until acceptance tone sounds.

level setting. Release keypad when the desired heat level

Warmer drawer settings
The recommended warmer drawer food settings are shown
in Fig. 3. The settings provided are meant to be used as a
recommendation only. If a particular food item is not listed,
start with a medium setting. If more crispness is desired,
remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.
Most foods may be maintained at serving temperatures
using a medium heat setting. When a combination of foods
are to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2
vegetables and rolls) use a high setting.
