Operation
Power “ON” Light
The power “ON” light is located above the temperature control knob on Custom models and below the temperature control knob on Designer models. It turns on when the control knob is set and cycles on and off with the heating element as temperature is maintained.
Moisture Selector Control
The moisture selector control is located at the top of the warming drawer. To keep foods moist, move the handle to the right. This closes the vents and seals the moisture inside the drawer. For crisp foods, move the handle to the left. This opens the vents and allows the moisture to escape. The moisture selector can be placed in any position between
In the closed position, the drawer is completely sealed which keeps the hot foods moist and soft. In this setting, condensation may be noticed around the inside edge of the drawer. If the drawer is not full, there may be some drying on the surface of the food. If this happens, simply cover the food with a lid or aluminum foil.
When in the open position, the drawer is vented, which lets moisture escape. This dry heat keeps the foods exterior dry and crisp. With the vents open, it is normal for moisture to collect on surfaces above the warming drawer. Simply wipe up the moisture with a dry cloth.
CAUTION
DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover foods placed in the drawer, nor to keep foods warm that are wrapped or placed in plastic containers for heating. Plastics can melt onto the drawer if they are in direct contact. If melted onto the drawer, they can be very difficult to remove.
