The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and
closing the drawer.
TO Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a 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 dishware, 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.

To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control is used to select the temperature of the warmer drawer. It is
located on the control panel. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to the
desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED
and LO.
1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty
drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFE
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the
lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods is to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2
vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from
the drawen
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the warmer drawer control. It turns on when the
control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The warmer drawer is
inoperable during the self-clean cycle. The indicator light will not come on during
the self-clean cycle.
