Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the food needing the highest setting.
Place the items needing the highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and items needing
less heat on the rack.
The temperature, type and amount of food,
■
and the time held will affect the quality of
the food.
Food in heat-safe glass and glass-ceramic
■
utensils may need a higher control setting
as compared to food in metal utensils.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows hot
■
air to escape and food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside
■
the drawer to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to
■
use a higher thermostat setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
Do not use plastic containers or
■
plastic wrap.
To Crisp Stale Items
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
■
Preheat on LO setting.
■
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
To warm serving bowls and plates, set the
control on LO.
Use only heat-safe dishes.
■
Place empty dishes on the rack to raise
■
them off the bottom of the drawer. Placing
dishes on the warming drawer bottom
may cause them to become extremely
hot and could damage them.
If you want to heat fine china, please check
■
with the manufacturer of the dishes for
their maximum heat tolerance.
