Control

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.

1.To set the temperature, push in and turn the control to the desired setting.

2.For 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 minutes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.

3.When done warming, turn the temperature control to OFF.

Temperature Selection

Refer to the chart 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 from the food. 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. Open only for adding or removing food.

To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates

Heat bowls and plates on the LO setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to raise them off: drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat

fine china, check with the manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.

Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer

The Warmer Drawer has a Bread Proof feature that can be used to help prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep bread dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to follow the recipe'srecommended times.

The unrisen bread dough should be placed in a large bowl since the dough will nearly double in volume. Place the Warmer Drawer Rack in the downward position. Before placing in the Warmer Drawer, cover the bowl with a moist cloth or use wax paper that has been coated with a non-stick type cooking spray.

NOTE: The bread proof function uses low warming temperature which may be lower than your room temperature. The drawer will not work as a cooling device and will not be able to lower the temperature of foods to less than room temperature.
