Setting Warmer Drawer Control (If Equipped)
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 aside. 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.
