Setting Warmer Drawer Controls

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example,
rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or
pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1).
Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is
not recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered
with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the
drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer
Drawer.
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.
Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more
crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, meat
with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do
not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.
