Operation
Your warming drawer works in two ways:
1. Sealing moisture within the drawer to keep food moist
2. Allowing the moisture to escape and keep food crisp
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods
at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food
cannot be heated in the warming drawer.
Heating Options:
A. Moist Heat
This prevents food from drying out, since moisture, as well as
heat, is applied to the warming chamber.
1. Your warming drawer comes with two low racks and a
moisture cup. One low rack has an opening in the rear center
for the moisture cup. Place low racks in warming drawer. Fill
the moisture cup approximately half full with water. (Should
use approximately 1/2” cup water). Place the moisture cup
in the opening in the rear center of the low rack.
2. Place the food directly on the rack or you can use any pans
that will fit in the warming drawer. The rack supports the
food off of the steam vents where slight amounts of moisture
may appear.
3. Open the front moisture selector control located on the
DEWD models half-way. (See moisture selector section on
page 7.) Additional adjustments to the control may become
necessary depending upon the type and amount of food
stored in the drawer, the number of times the drawer is
opened per hour, and the temperature setting.
B. Dry Heat (DEWD Models only)
For some applications you may want to store previously prepared
foods in a “dry heat” environment. This can be easily accomplished
by placing the food directly into the empty drawer pan and sliding
the moisture control selector to open. This allows the moist heat to
escape and provides a dry environment for the food.
C. Optional Accessories for Moist or Dry Heat
Pans / Lids - This warming drawer is designed to accommodate
standard size pan inserts. The optional pan/lid set consists of one 4”
D. x 12” L. x 10½” W. pan/lid, two 4” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids,
and two 2½” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids.
