Warming Drawer (On Some Models) - Whirlpool 9762354A Use And Care Manual

WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and
pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at
the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than
1 hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as
eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the
warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated
from room temperature on the HI setting.
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container.
Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Empty serving dishes and ovenproof dishes can be heated while
the warming drawer is preheating.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the tray that lines the
bottom of the drawer with soap and water. See "General
Cleaning" section.
The warming drawer comes with a liner that helps keep the
drawer clean.
Do not place food to be warmed directly on warming drawer liner.
