Operation
Before Using Drawer
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before using, clean the drawer
thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some
burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this
is normal.
Drawer Functions
Your warming drawer works in two ways:
1. Seals moisture within the drawer to keep food
moist.
2. Allows moisture to escape and keep food crisp.
The purpose of the warming drawer is to keep hot,
cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food; cold food cannot be heated in the
warming drawer.

control on a low setting. Place the empty dishes on
the low rack to raise them off the bottom of the

"1" setting represents low,
"2" represents medium, and
"3" represents high. The
majority of foods are held at a
medium setting to maintain a serving temperature.
However, your own preference may be for hotter foods.
To keep several types of food hot for serving, key the
temperature setting for the meat. For example, to
hold rare roast beef, select a lower setting, cover the
other foods that otherwise would be kept at a higher
setting.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to
escape and the food to cool. The drawer should not
be opened unless adding or removing food.
