Warming Drawer

(on some models)

WARNING

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.

The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and pastries.

Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than one hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.

Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature on the HI setting.

Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container. Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.

Do not cover with plastic wrap.

Empty serving dishes and oven proof dishes can be heated while the warming drawer is preheating.

Before using the warming drawer, wash the tray that lines the bottom of the drawer with soap and water. See “General Cleaning” section.

The warming drawer comes with a liner that helps keep the drawer clean.

Do not place food to be warmed directly on warming drawer liner.
