Temperature Selection Chart

food, and the time held will affect the
quality of the food.

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
hot air to escape and 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 thermostat setting and
cover some of the cooked food items.
