Warming Drawer
(on some models)
The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and
pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at
the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than
1 hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as
eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the
warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated
from room temperature on the HI setting.
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container.
Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Empty serving dishes and ovenproof dishes can be heated while
the warming drawer is preheating.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the tray that lines the
bottom of the drawer with soap and water. See “General
Cleaning” section.
The warming drawer comes with a liner that helps keep the
drawer clean.
Do not place food to be warmed directly on warming drawer liner.
To Use:
1. Place cooked food(s) in warming drawer.
2. Push in and turn rotary control to desired temperature
(between 140°F [60°C] and 185°F [85°C]).
3. Turn rotary control to off when finished.
Warming Drawer Settings:
The warming drawer is preset for a “Lo” temperature, but can be
changed by pressing the TEMP “up” arrow pad. Use the
following chart as a guide when selecting a different temperature
other than “Lo.”
