Using the warming drawer.

(on some models)
Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the food needing the highest setting. Place
the items needing the highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and items needing less heat on
the rack.
The temperature, type and amount of food,
and the time held will affect the quality of the
food.
Food in heat-safe glass and glass-ceramic
utensils may need a higher control setting as
compared to food in metal utensils.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows hot
air to escape and food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside
the drawer to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to use a
higher thermostat setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
Do not use plastic containers or
plastic wrap.
To Crisp Stale Items
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
Preheat on LO setting.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
To warm serving bowls and plates, set the
control on LO.
Use only heat-safe dishes.
Place empty dishes on the rack to raise them
off the bottom of the drawer. Placing dishes
on the warming drawer bottom may cause
them to become extremely
hot and could damage them.
If you want to heat fine china, please check
with the manufacturer of the dishes for their
maximum heat tolerance.

time, place the serving dishes on the rack
