To Operate the 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 moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp foods.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, 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.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control knob. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. Make sure indicator light is off when removing food from drawer.
Warmer Drawer Humidity
Controller Feature
This feature may be used to control humidity in the Warmer Drawer. The control knob is located on the inner front panel of the Warmer Drawer.
For dry heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the
direction of (less moist) (Figure 1). This allows more of the moist heat to escape and provides a dryer environment for the food in the Warmer Drawer.
For moist heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the
direction of (more moist) (Figure 2). This will help keep the food in the Warmer Drawer from drying out. Both heat and moisture will be applied to the Warmer Drawer cavity.
To Set the Temperature Control
The Temperature Control is located on the inside right panel of the warmer drawer. The temperature range is from 80 °F to 210 °F, and the temperature settings are approximate from LO to HI throughout the range. Set the control to LO, MED, HI or anywhere in between.
1To set the temperature, push in and turn the control to the desired setting.
2For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will reach the LO setting in about 12 minutes, the MED setting in about 15 min- utes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.
3When done warming, turn the temperature control to OFF.
NOTE
Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates.
