Setting Warm & Serve Drawer Control (If Equipped)

Arranging Warm & Serve 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 dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Set the Warm & Serve Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1).

Operating the Warm & Serve Drawer
The purpose of the Warm & Serve 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 Warm & Serve
Drawer. All food placed in the Warm & Serve 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 Warm & Serve Drawer.										Serve
