Arranging Warming Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

•In the upright position 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 to allow you to place light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warming Drawer rack in either position as shown below (Fig. 1).

Figure 1

To Operate the Warming Drawer

The purpose of the Warming Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warming Drawer.

All food placed in the Warming Drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warming Drawer.

To Set the Warming Drawer Control

The control is used to select the temperature of the Warming Drawer. It is located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low). To set the Warming Drawer control:

1.Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.

2.For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

3.When done, turn the control to OFF.

Warming Drawer Temperature Selection

Recommended Warming Drawer food settings are shown in Figure 3. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warming Drawer while in use.

Warming Drawer Indicator Light

The Warming Drawer indicator light is located above the Warming Drawer control knob (See Fig. 2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The Warming Drawer will not operate during the

self-clean cycle.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
