Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions
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 underneath).
• In the
downward position
to allow you to place light weight food items and empty
dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Set the Warmer Drawer Rack in either position as shown aside (Figure 1).
Operating the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer 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 Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only utensils
and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the
Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
Warmer Drawer Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a particular food
is not listed, start with the
MED
setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid
or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on
the
MED
setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance,
meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the
HI
setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open
the Warmer Drawer while in use.
To Set the Warmer Drawer Controls:
The control and indicator lights for the Warmer Drawer features are located on the
control panel. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by
HI
(high),
MED
(medium) and
LO
(low).
1. Touch the
pad at the Warmer Drawer control position. The Warmer Drawer
indicator light will flash. Note: If no further pads are touched within 25 seconds
the request to power the Warmer Drawer ON will clear.
2. Set the desired power level. Touch
once to turn ON the power level for HI
(see Figure 3) or
to turn ON the power level for LO (see Figure 5). The
Warmer Drawer indicator light located beside the
pad will turn ON steady.
3. Each touch of the
or
pads will decrease or increase through 6 power
