Setting Warmer Drawer Controls
Arranging Warmer Drawer (Warm & Ready TM
Drawer) Rack Positions (some models)
Note: Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates.
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
•In the upright position 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 under - See Fig. 1).
•In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates - See Fig. 2).
The warmer d rawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
2.For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3.Turn the thermostat control to OFF after use.
Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Drawer Temperature Selection (some models)
Refer to the table in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from the drawer.

Light (some models)
The indicator light is located above the Warmer Drawer thermostat control. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned OFF.
All food placed in the warmer 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.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be HOT.
