Using the warmer drawer
The lower warmer drawer is ideal for warming foods such as
pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes and frozen convenience
foods. Use the warmer drawer to keep hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. The warmer drawer may also be used to
warm dinner plates.
Keep children away from the warmer drawer when hot. Failure
to do so can result in burns.
Arranging warmer drawer rack positions
The warmer drawer rack may be used two ways:
•In the upright position (See Fig. 1) 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 underneath).
• In the downward position (See Fig. 2) to allow for light
weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls
or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Always use oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
drawer. The warmer drawer rack, compartment, cookware, and
plates may be hot.
Should a fire occur, close the drawer and turn the lower drawer
OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put
water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Recommendations for the warmer drawer
• When placing food in the warmer drawer always use a
baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides to prevent food
from sliding off.
• DO NOT LINE THE WARMER DRAWER WITH FOIL OR
COVER THE RACK WITH FOIL. This may result in
damage to your oven.
• The maximum height of foods and utensils that may be
used in the warmer drawer is 4". The maximum width is
15".
• Pay close attention to foods that have potential to rise
beyond the recommended 4" maximum height.
• Use pans in the warmer drawer large enough to contain
food and any juices created from the cooking process.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt
onto the drawer or surrounding areas and be very difficult to
clean.
Use a lid or aluminum foil instead. Use only utensils and
cookware in the warmer drawer that are recommended for
oven use in the upper oven.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• For best results with the warmer drawer, pastries, casse-
roles with crumb toppings and bakery type items should be
cooked in the upper oven.
• When using the warmer drawer, limit the number of times
the drawer is opened; this wilt minimize heat toss.
Repeated opening of the drawer during the warming
process may produce uneven results.

FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food sit for more than
one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food
poisoning or sickness.
NOTES
• The warmer drawer will not operate when the upper oven is
set for self-cleaning or the control lock feature is active.
• If the warmer drawer is ON and a self-clean or control lock
request is attempted, the oven control will deny the request
with a triple beep.
