WARmING DRAWER
Warming Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the upright position 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 under-
neath).
• In the downward position to allow you to place light weight
food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or
pastries and dinner plates) on the rack. Set the Warming
Drawer rack in either position as shown below.

Operating The Warming Drawer
The warming drawer keeps hot cooked foods at serving
temperature.
All food placed in the warming drawer should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic
wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be
very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recom-
mended for oven use in the Warming Drawer.
Setting the Warming Drawer control
1
Touch the WARMING DRAWER SET/OFF key (near the
number keys). The indicator light will flash.
2
Use the number keys to set the power level. 1 for LOW, 2
for MEDIUM, and 3 for HIGH.
3
When the food is ready, or to cancel, touch the
WARMING DRAWER SET/OFF key.
NOTE
• The Warming Drawer will shut off automatically after three
hours.
• It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warming
Drawer.

recommendations
If you keep several different foods hot, set the control to the
food needing the highest setting.
• The quality of the food will be affected by the temperature,
type and amount of food, and the time held.
• Food in heat-safe glass and glass-ceramic utensils may
need a higher control setting as compared to food in metal
utensils.
• Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape
and the food to cool.
• Allow extra time for the temperature inside the drawer to
stabilize after adding items.
• With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher
warming drawer setting and cover some of the cooked
food items.
• DO NOT use plastic containers or plastic wrap.
