Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions

The warmer drawer rack can be set in two positions to accom-
modate foods and any items that need to be warmed or kept 
warm. The rack must be placed in the vertical position in one of 
two ways.

In the upright position (

Figure 23

) 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 (

Figure 24

) to allow the placement of 

light weight food items and empty dish ware (for example, rolls 
or pastries and dinner plates).
