Operating Instructions

warning

When the warming drawer is on in continuous mode

(∞), it will remain on until turned off manually. to

avoid a fire hazard or burns, exercise caution when

operating the unit in continuous mode.
Do not block the humidity vents on the back of the

drawer front and along the left and right sides of the

drawer. excessive heat buildup can occur.
food safety is an important consideration when

using a warming drawer. In the ProoF and loW

temperature settings, bacteria growth may occur.

use the meD and HIGH settings if holding certain

foods for more than two to three hours.

Things to Know Before You Start

preheating

for best results, preheat your warming drawer for

about 20 minutes before use. If you put hot food into

a cool, confined area, any steam that is present will

condense. If you preheat your warming drawer, there

will be less chance of water due to condensation.

preheat times vary depending on the temperature set-

ting.

humidity Control

the warming drawer has two distinct humidity modes.

the “moIst” setting seals the food’s moisture in the

warming chamber, maintaining the water content of

the food. the “CrIsP” setting allows the moisture to

vent out of the sides of the warming drawer, retain-

ing the crispness of other food types. the moIst

CrIsP lever opens and closes vents located on the

inside of the drawer front.
Do not block the humidity vents any time you operate

your warming drawer.

Operation

the warming drawer is equipped with four temperature

settings and a timer that can be set for one, two, three

or four hours. the warming drawer can also be set for

continuous operation. See the table on the facing page for

suggested settings for different foods.

Warming Serving Containers

to warm plates, and other serving containers:

place them carefully into the warming drawer and set

the temperature to ProoF or loW, depending upon

your personal preference. Do not drag plates across

the drawer. they may scratch the drawer surface.
Before using any delicate dinnerware in the warm-

ing drawer, determine its maximum recommended

usage temperature from the plate manufacturer. It is

not necessary to preheat the warming drawer when

warming serving dishes.
You can also use plastic wrapping on plates to keep

foods hot and moist.
