To Use the Warming Drawer

WARMING DRAWER” and “1” are lit on the display
and “Set” begins to blink. On the number pads,
touch 1 for Low, 2 for Medium or 3 for High. The
display “1” changes corresponding to the number
pad selected. Press START.
To cancel, touch the WARMING DRAWER pad.
NOTE: Touching the CLEAR/OFF pad does not

When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked
foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do
not use to heat cold food other than crisping
crackers, chips or dry cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan
with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer and
could damage the interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the
warming drawer to preheat.
Do not put liquid or water in the warming
drawer.
All foods placed in the warming drawer
should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil. When warming pastries or breads, the
cover should be vented to allow moisture to
escape.
Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
NOTE: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will
melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan
or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be
removable and is not covered under your
warranty.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in warming drawer.
To Crisp Stale Items
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
Preheat on LO/1 setting.
Check crispness after 45 minutes. Add time as
needed.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Dishes will be hot. Use pot holders or mitts when
removing hot dishes.
To warm serving bowls and plates, set the control
on LO/1.
Use only heat-safe dishes.
If you want to heat fine china, please check
with the manufacturer of the dishes for their
maximum heat tolerance.
You may warm empty serving dishes while
preheating the drawer.
Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the control to
the food needing the highest setting.
The temperature, type and amount of food, and
the time held will affect the quality of the food.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows
the hot air to escape and the food to cool.
With large loads it may be necessary
to use a higher warming drawer setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap.
