Temperature Selection Chart

■The temperature, type and amount of
food, and the time held will affect the
quality of the food.
■Food in heat-safe glass and glass-ceramic
utensils may need a higher control setting
as compared to food in metal utensils.
■Repeated opening of the drawer allows
hot air to escape and food to cool.
■ Allow extra time for the temperature
inside the drawer to stabilize after
adding items.
■With large loads it may be necessary to
use a higher thermostat setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
■Do not use plastic containers or
plastic wrap.
CAUTION: Do not keep food in the
warming drawer for more than two hours.

To Crisp Stale Items

■Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
■Preheat on LO setting.
■Check crispness after 45 minutes.
Add time as needed.

To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates

To warm serving bowls and plates, set the
control on LO.
■Use only heat-safe dishes.
■Place empty dishes on the rack to raise
them off the bottom of the drawer.
Placing dishes on the warming drawer
bottom may cause them to become
extremely hot and could damage them.
■If you want to heat fine china, please
check with the manufacturer of the
dishes for their maximum heat tolerance.
■You may warm empty serving dishes while
preheating the drawer.
■When holding hot, cooked foods and
warming empty serving dishes at the
same time, place the serving dishes on
the rack and the food on the bottom of
the drawer.
CAUTION: Dishes will be hot. Use
pot holders or mitts when removing hot dishes.
