	Setting Warmer Drawer Control (If Equipped)
Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) 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 Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown aside (Figure 1).							Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer 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 Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer 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 Warmer Drawer.
	Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the
Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
