Operating the 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 utensils and cookware recommended
for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.
Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer & Bread Proofing
Indicator Lights
The control and indicator lights for the Warmer Drawer and Bread Proofing
features are located on the control panel. The indicator lights will turn ON when
the control is set, and remain ON until the controls are turned OFF.
Note: The Warmer Drawer will not operate during the Self-Clean cycle.
Warmer Drawer Humidity Controller Feature
This feature may be used to control humidity levels in the Warmer Drawer. The
control knob is located on the inner front panel of the Warmer Drawer.

Warmer Drawer. For crisp foods, move the handle to the left. This opens the vents and allows more of the moisture to
escape.

For Moist Heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of (More)
the Warmer Drawer from drying out. Both heat and moisture will be applied to the Warmer Drawer cavity.
Note: For some types of servings you may want to store previously prepared food in a "dry heat" environment.
For frequent controller adjustments, slightly loosen humidity controller knob and slide to any desired position. To maintain a
desired setting, adjust controller knob into position and tighten knob.
