To Operate the Warmer (Warm &
Ready™) Drawer
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 dishes, utensils and cookware
recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts
when removing food from the warmer drawer as
cookware and plates will be HOT.
The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
