Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and
on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole
dish under).
• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty
dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates).
Set the warmer drawer rack as shown below.

WARMER DRAWER
@
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 OFF.
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 drawer.
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.
