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 cover crisp foods.
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.
Note: Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and
heated dinner plates.

to the three settings, or anywhere between.

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

When a combination of foods are 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
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the LO setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to raise
them off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat fine china, check with the

in a self-cleaning mode. The warmer drawer can be used immediately after the
clean cycle is ended.
