Setting the Warmer Drawer
Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot
cooked foods at serving temperatures. Examples
are vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles,
biscuits, rolls and pastries. It is not recommended
to heat cold food in the warmer drawer; always
start with hot food.
The warmer drawer may also be used to warm
dinner plates. All food items placed in the warmer
drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil to maintain quality.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer drawer as
cookware and plates will be hot and you can be
burned.
• FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let
food sit for more than one hour before or after
cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning
or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such
as milk, eggs, fi sh, meat or poultry, should
be chilled in the refrigerator fi rst. Even when
chilled, they should not stand in the oven for
more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and
should be removed promptly when fi nished
cooking.
• Storage in or on appliance—fl ammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
warmer drawer, near surface units. This
includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as fl ammable liquids. Do not store explosives,
such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —
Children should not be left alone or unattended
in the area where appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance, including the warmer
drawer.
Arranging warmer drawer rack positions
The keep warmer drawer rack may be used in 2
ways:
• In the upright position (See Fig. 1) to allow low
profi le 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 underneath).
• In the downward position (See Fig. 2) to allow for
light weight food items and empty cookware (for
example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on
the rack.
