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 difficult
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 above 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.
To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control knob is used to select the temperature of the warmer
drawer. It is located at the right side of the warmer drawer in the open position. The
temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. The
control can be set to the three settings, or anywhere between.
1. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob 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, turn the thermostat 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.
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.
Use the warmer drawer to keep hot
foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies,
meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls,
pastries and heated dinner plates.
The warmer drawer is equipped with a
catch which may require a small amount
of force when opening and closing the
drawer.
