Arranging Warmer Oven Rack Positions
Set the warmer oven rack in the vertical position as
shown below.
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the
upright position
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
to allow you to place
light weight food items and empty dishware (for
example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates).
Downward Position
Upright Position
Use the warmer oven to keep hot foods hot
such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles,
biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner
plates.
To Operate the Warmer Oven
The purpose of the warmer oven is to keep hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food in the warmer oven.
Most food placed in the warmer oven should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain
moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp foods.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult
to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware
recommended for oven use in the warmer oven.
NOTE: The warmer oven will not operate when the
upper oven is set for self-cleaning or if the control
lockout feature is active.
Keep children away from the Warmer oven
when hot. Failure to do so can result in burns.
FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food
sit for more than one hour before or after
cooking. Doing so may cause bacteria to
grow which can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
