foods at serving temperatures. Examples are vegetables,
gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and pastries. It is
not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer;
always start with hot food.
The warmer drawer may also be used to warm dinner
plates. All food items placed in the warmer drawer should
be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.

A WARNING 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. Foods
that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or
poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even
when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more
than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking.

materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer
drawer, near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as
well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
Arranging warmer drawer rack positions
The keep warmer drawer rack may be used in 2 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.
A WARNING DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —
children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the warmer drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and
plates will be hot and you can be burned.
