Setting Warming Drawer Controls

Warming Drawer

The purpose of the warming 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 warming drawer; always start with hot food.

The warming drawer may also be used to warm dinner plates. All food placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.

Arranging warming drawer rack positions

The keep warming drawer rack may be used in 2 ways:

•In the upright position (See Fig. 1) 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 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.

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.

Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warming drawer, near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable 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 warming drawer.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE unattended where appliance is in use. The outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can cause burns or serious injury.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

To set warming drawer:

1.Open warming drawer when cool and arrange Warming Drawer rack as needed. Close the Warming Drawer.

2.Press the Warming Drawer’s On/Off keypad. If a heat setting is not selected within 6 seconds the control will turn off.

3.Scroll through the Low, Med and High heat settings by repeatedly pressing the +/— keypad

4.For best results preheat the drawer before adding food or plates. An empty warming drawer will fully preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

5.Place food in warming drawer that is already at serving temperature on warming drawer rack. Dinner plates may be warmed also.

6.After use, press Warming Drawer’s On/Off keypad to turn the Warming Drawer off.

•Self Clean can not be set when the warming drawer is active.

•The warming drawer is equipped with a catch that may require extra force to open and close the drawer.
