Setting Keep warm drawer control
Keep warm drawer rack positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
•In the upright position (Figure 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 (Figure 2) 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 keep warm drawer rack in either position.
Note: For best results, preheat the keep warm drawer before adding the food. An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
4. When the food is ready for removal, touch the on●off pad once to turn the keep warm drawer OFF. The keep warm drawer indicator light
will turn OFF.

Operating the keep warm drawer
The purpose of the keep warm 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 keep warm drawer. All food placed in the keep warm 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 keep warm drawer.
CAUTION
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the keep warm drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
To set the keep warm drawer controls
The control and indicator lights for the keep warm drawer features are located on the control panel. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).
1.Touch the on●off pad (see Figure 6) at the keep warm drawer control position. The keep Warm drawer indicator light will flash. Note: If no further pads are touched within 25 seconds the request to power the keep warm drawer ON will clear.
2.Set the desired power level. Touch 
once to turn ON the power level for HI (see Figure 3) or 
to turn ON the power level for LO (see Figure 5). The keep warm drawer indicator light located beside the on●off pad will turn ON steady.
3.Each touch of the 
or 
pads will decrease or increase through 5 power levels from HI (see Figure 3) to MED (see Figure 4) to LO (see Figure 5).
NOTE
The keep warm drawer is inoperable during the self- clean cycle.
The keep warm drawer is equipped with a latch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
Keep warm drawer temperature selection
Recommended keep warm drawer settings table is shown below. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the keep warm drawer while in use.
