Operation
Drawer Indicator Light
The drawer indicator light is located on the front panel of the drawer.
The drawer indicator light will glow red when the drawer element is
heated. The light will cycle on and off as the temperature is maintained.
Optional Accessories for Moist or Dry Heat
Pans/Lids - This warming drawer is designed to accommodate
standard size pan inserts. The optional pan/lid set consists of:
1) one 4” D. x 12” L. x 10½” W. pan/lid
2) two 4” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids
3) two 2½” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids
Temperature Control Settings
The knob is used to select the temperature of the
drawer and is located on the right side of the
control panel. The “1” setting represents low, “2”
represents medium, and “3” represents high. The
majority of foods are held at a medium setting to
maintain a serving temperature. However, your own
preference may be for hotter foods.
To keep several types of food hot for serving, key the temperature
setting for the meat. For example, to hold rare roast beef, select a
lower setting, cover the other foods that otherwise would be kept at a
higher setting.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the
food to cool. The drawer should not be opened unless adding or
removing food.
Proofing
Yeast dough can be proofed in the warming drawer. Place the dough
in a bowl. Place the bowl on the low rack in the drawer. Turn the
temperature control to the lowest setting to facilitate the fermentation
time. A towel should be placed over the dough to minimize surface
drying. The dough should remain in the warming drawer until it has
doubled in size and a slight depression remains when the surface is
touched gently with a finger.
Warming Plates
To warm serving bowls and plates, place temperature control on a low
setting. Place the empty dishes on the low rack to raise them off the
bottom of the drawer. If you want hotter dishes or want to heat fine
china, please check with the manufacturer of the dishes for their
maximum heat tolerance.
