Arranging Warm & Serve 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
underneath).
•
In the
downward position
to allow you to place light weight food items and empty
dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Set the Warm & Serve Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1).
Operating the Warm & Serve Drawer
The purpose of the Warm & Serve 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 Warm & Serve
Drawer. All food placed in the Warm & Serve 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 recommended for
oven use in the Warm & Serve Drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warm &
Serve Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warm & Serve Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warm & Serve Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the
MED
setting. If more crispness is desired,
remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures on the
MED
setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm
(for instance, meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the
HI
setting. To avoid heat loss,
do not open the Warm & Serve Drawer while in use.
