When Using the Warming Drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked

foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not

use to heat cold food other than crisping

crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Do not line the warming drawer or pan

with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat

insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This

will upset the performance of the drawer

and could damage the interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the

warming drawer to preheat.

Do not put liquid or water in the warming

drawer.

All foods placed in the warming drawer

should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

When warming pastries or breads, the cover

should be vented to allow moisture to

escape.
Food should be kept hot in its cooking

container or transferred to a heat-safe

serving dish.

Plastic containers or plastic wrap will

melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a

hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable

and is not covered under your warranty.

containers in warming drawer.
