Operating 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 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 Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

To Set the Control:

The control is used to select the temperature of the Warmer Drawer. It is located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).

1.Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.

2.For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.

3.When done, turn the control to OFF.

Temperature Selection

Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 3. 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, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.

Warmer Drawer Indicator Light

The warmer drawer indicator light is located above the warmer drawer control knob (See Fig. 2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The warmer drawer is inoperable during the self-clean cycle.
