Warmer drawer settings

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

Most foods may be maintained at serving temperatures using a medium heat setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use a high setting.
