Using the warming drawer. (on some models)
Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the food needing the highest setting. Place the items needing the highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and items needing less heat on the rack.
The temperature, type and amount of food, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.
Food in
Repeated opening of the drawer allows hot air to escape and food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside the drawer to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher thermostat setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap.
