SETTING WARMER DRAWER CONTROL
TO OPERATE 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 moisture
and softness. Do not cover crisp foods.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the drawer and be very diffi cult to clean.
Use only dishware, 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.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control
knob. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on
until the control is turned off. Make sure indicator light is
off when removing food from drawer.
WARMER DRAWER HUMIDITY
CONTROLLER FEATURE
This feature may be used to control humidity in the
Warmer Drawer. The control knob is located on the inner
front panel of the Warmer Drawer.
For dry heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the
direction of (less moist) (Figure 1). This allows
more of the moist heat to escape and provides a dryer
environment for the food in the Warmer Drawer.
For moist heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the
direction of (more moist) (Figure 2). This will help
keep the food in the Warmer Drawer from drying out.
Both heat and moisture will be applied to the Warmer
Drawer cavity.

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 min-
utes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.
3 When done warming, turn the temperature control to
OFF.
 NOTE

such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles,
biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner
plates.
