USE & CARE
ON Signal Light
The
ON
signal light is located below the
ON/OFF
switch and glows when the
ON/OFF
switch is in the
ON
position. It stays on until the
ON/OFF
switch is
moved to the
OFF
position.
The
ON
signal light is visible through the light viewer
in the drawer front panel when the drawer is closed.
This is a reminder that the heat is on.
Moisture Selector
The moisture selector is located on the inside front
of the drawer.
To keep foods moist,
slide the moisture selector
control away from the control knob. This closes the
vent and seals the moisture inside the drawer. With
the vent closed hot foods stay moist and soft.
In this setting condensation may occur around the inside edge of
the drawer.
To keep foods crisp
slide the moisture selector control
to the right towards the control knob. This opens the
vents and allows the moisture to escape.
With the vents open, it is normal for moisture to collect on
surfaces above the warming drawer.
When using the warming drawer . . .
