Warming Drawer
The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and
pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the
same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than 1 hour.
For smaller quantities, pizza, or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs,
do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the
warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated
from room temperature.
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container.
Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Empty serving dishes and ovenproof dishes can be heated while
the warming drawer is preheating. Check the dish manufacturer’s
recommendations before warming the cookware.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the bottom of the drawer
with soap and water. See “General Cleaning” section.

Slow Cook
The Slow Cook function in the warming drawer cooks food slowly
at a low temperature over a long period of time, similar to a
countertop slow cooker.
There are 2 settings: Hi and Lo. Guidelines for cooking times are
4 to 5 hours for Hi and 8 to 10 hours for Lo. Smaller quantities of
food may require less time, while larger quantities may require more
time.
When slow cooking, use oven-safe cookware. Before slow
cooking, thaw frozen foods completely. Cover foods with a lid or
aluminum foil to keep the food moist.
IMPORTANT: Brown roasts thoroughly before starting to slow
cook.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the bottom of the drawer
with soap and water. See “General Cleaning” section.
