Setting Oven Controls
Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer drawer feature to
keep cooked foods hot such as vegetables, gravies, casseroles,
soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven safe dinner plates at
serving temperature.
Important: Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food
with the warmer drawer. All food placed on the warmer drawer
should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results,
when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an
opening to allow moisture to escape. Use only dish ware, utensils
and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use in the
warmer drawer.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness.
Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions
The warmer drawer rack can be set in two positions to accom-
modate foods and any items that need to be warmed or kept
warm. The rack must be placed in the vertical position in one of
two ways.
In the upright position (
Figure 38
) 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).
In the downward position (
Figure 39
) to allow the placement of
light weight food items and empty dish ware (for example, rolls
or pastries and dinner plates).
Important notes:
•
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can
melt onto the cooktop.
