Warmer drawer settings
The recommended warmer drawer food settings are shown
in Fig. 3. Remember the settings provided are meant to be
used as a recommendation only. If a particular food item is
not listed, start with the Med setting. If more crispness is
desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.
Most foods may be maintained at serving temperatures on
the Med setting. When a combination of foods are to be
kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and
rolls) use the Hi setting. To minimize heat loss, avoid
opening the warmer drawer frequently while in use.
