Warmer Drawer (on some models)

The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperatures. Examples are vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and pastries. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer; always start with hot food.

The warmer drawer may also be used to warm dinner plates. All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.

Important note:

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean up. Use only utensils and cookware recommended by the manufacturer for use in the keep warm drawer.

Arranging warmer drawer rack positions

The keep warmer drawer rack may be used in 2 ways:

•In the upright position (See Fig. 1) 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 (See Fig. 2) to allow for light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Storage in or on appliance—flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —

children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including 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.

Warmer drawer recommended settings

The recommended warmer drawer food settings is provided in Fig. 3. Remember the settings provided are meant to be used as recommendations only. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED (medium) setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.

Most foods can be maintained 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 (high) setting. To minimize heat loss, avoid opening the warmer drawer frequently while in use.
