Warming Drawer - GE JB740 Owner's Manual

Warming Drawer

When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm.
Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food
other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan with
aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance of the drawer and could damage the
interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer
to preheat.
Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer.
Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the
food needing the highest setting.
The temperature, type and amount of food, and the
time held will affect the quality of the food.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to
escape and the food to cool.
With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher
warming drawer 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/1 setting.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
CAUTION
Dishes will be hot. Use pot holders or mitts when
removing hot dishes.
To warm serving bowls and plates, set the control on LO/1.

(on some models)
All foods placed in the warming drawer should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to
allow moisture to escape.
Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or
transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
NOTE: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if
in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a hot utensil.
Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered
under your warranty.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in warming drawer.
