SETTING KEEP WARM DRAWER CONTROL (If equipped)

Keep warm drawer rack positions

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

•  In the 

upright position (Figure 1) to allow low 

profi le 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 (Figure 2) 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 keep warm drawer rack in either position.

Operating the keep warm drawer

The purpose of the keep warm 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 keep warm drawer. All food placed in the keep warm 

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 diffi cult to 

clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for 

oven use in the keep warm drawer.

 Always use potholders or oven mitts when 

removing food from the keep warm drawer as cookware 

and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

To set the keep warm drawer controls

The control and indicator lights for the keep warm 

drawer features are located on the control panel. The 

temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI 

(high), MED (medium) and LO (low).

Keep warm drawer temperature selection

Recommended keep warm drawer settings table is shown 

below. 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 keep warm drawer while 

in use.

Note:

 For best results, preheat the keep warm drawer 

before adding the food. An empty drawer will preheat 

in approximately 15 minutes.
