Operation
Your warming drawer works in two ways:
1.Sealing moisture within the drawer to keep food moist
2.Allowing the moisture to escape and keep food crisp
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated in the warming drawer.

Heating Options:
A. Moist Heat
This prevents food from drying out, since moisture, as well as heat, is applied to the warming chamber.
1.Your warming drawer comes with two low racks and a moisture cup. One low rack has an opening in the rear center for the moisture cup. Place low racks in warming drawer. Fill the moisture cup approximately half full with water. (Should use approximately 1/2” cup water). Place the moisture cup in the opening in the rear center of the low rack.
2.Place the food directly on the rack or you can use any pans that will fit in the warming drawer. The rack supports the food off of the steam vents where slight amounts of moisture may appear.
3.Open the front moisture selector control located on the DEWD models
B.Dry Heat (DEWD Models only)
For some applications you may want to store previously prepared foods in a “dry heat” environment. This can be easily accomplished by placing the food directly into the empty drawer pan and sliding the moisture control selector to open. This allows the moist heat to escape and provides a dry environment for the food.
