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 cover crisp foods.
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 are hot.
Note: Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and
heated dinner plates.
Note: The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat 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.
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 MAX, MED and MIN. The control can be set to the three settings, or
OFF
anywhere between.

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 are 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.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the MIN setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to raise
them off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat fine china, check with the
manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.
IMPORTANT: The warmer drawer will be turned off automatically when the oven is
in a self-cleaning mode. The warmer drawer can be used immediately after the
clean cycle is ended.
(some models)
Select the temperature setting.
For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will reach the HI
setting in about 18 minutes, the Med setting in about 15 minutes and the MIN setting in about
12 minutes.
When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF position.
