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 minutes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.
3. When done warming, turn the temperature control to OFF.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more
crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most
foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When
a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a
meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss
of heat from the drawer. Open only for adding or removing food.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the LO setting. Place empty dishes on the
rack to raise them
off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat
fine china, check with the manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.
Auto-Shutdown
This unit is programmed to automatically shutdown after 4 hours it is
left on. The element will stop warming the drawer, the indicator light
will turn off and a beep will sound each 20 seconds until the control
knob is turned to “OFF” position.
Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer
The Warmer Drawer has a Bread Proof feature that can be used to
help prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep
bread dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure
however to follow the recipe’s recommended times.
The unrisen bread dough should be placed in a large bowl since the
dough will nearly double in volume. Place the Warmer Drawer Rack in
the downward position. Before placing in the Warmer Drawer, cover
the bowl with a moist cloth or use wax paper that has been coated
with
a non-stick type cooking spray.
NOTE: The bread proof function uses low warming temperature which
may be lower than your room temperature. The drawer will not work as
a cooling device and will not be able to lower the temperature of foods
to less than room temperature.
