WARMING DRAWER
When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked
foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not
use to heat cold food other than crisping
crackers, chips or dry cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan
with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer
and could damage the interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the
warming drawer to preheat.
■
Do not put liquid or water in the warming
drawer.
■
All foods placed in the warming drawer
should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
When warming pastries or breads, the cover
should be vented to allow moisture to
escape.
■
Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
NOTE:
Plastic containers or plastic wrap will
melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a
hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable
and is not covered under your warranty.
■
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in warming drawer.
Temperature Selection Chart
To keep several different foods hot, set the
control to the food needing the highest setting.
■
The temperature, type and amount of food,
and the time held will affect the quality of

■
With large loads it may be necessary
to use a higher warming drawer setting
and cover some of the cooked food items.
■
Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap.
