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 are 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.
Note: The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.

is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the
lid or aluminum foil.

When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2
vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.

the drawer.

them off drawer bottom. Tofurther heat dishes or to heat fine china, check with the
manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.

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