Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions
Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown below.
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 for placement of light weight food items and
empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates).

Setting Warmer Drawer Control

To Operate 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 moisture and softness. 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 will be hot.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control knob. It
turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned
off. Make sure indicator light is off when removing food from drawer.
Warmer Drawer Humidity Controller Feature
This feature may be used to control humidity in the Warmer Drawer.
The control knob is located on the inner front panel of the Warmer
Drawer.
For dry heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of less
moist (Figure 1). This allows more of the moist heat to escape and
provides a dryer environment for the food in the Warmer Drawer.
For moist heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of
more moist (Figure 2). This will help keep the food in 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, slide the control knob to any desired position.
