38 Setting Warmer Oven Controls Warmer oven features The lower warmer oven is ideal for warming foods such as pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes and frozen convenience foods. Use the keep warm feature to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. The warmer oven may also be used to warm dinner plates. Arranging warmer oven rack positions The warmer oven rack may be used two ways: • In the upright position (See Fig. 1) 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 underneath). • KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE LOWER WARMER OVEN WHEN HOT. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN BURNS. • In the downward position (See Fig. 2) to allow for light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack. • Always use oven mitts when removing food from the lower oven. The lower oven rack, compartment, cookware/plates may be hot. • Should an oven fire occur, close the drawer and turn the lower oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive. Fig. 1 Recommendations for the warmer oven • When placing food in the lower oven always use a baking sheet or pan with 4 raised sides to prevent food from sliding off. • DO NOT LINE THE OVEN DRAWER WITH FOIL OR COVER THE OVEN RACK WITH FOIL. This may result in damage to your oven. • The maximum height of foods and utensils that may be used in the warmer oven is 4". The maximum width is 15". Pay close attention to foods that have potential to rise beyond the recommended 4" maximum height. • Use pans in the warmer oven large enough to contain food and any juices created from the cooking process. • Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer or surrounding areas and be very difficult to clean. Use a lid or aluminum foil instead. Use only utensils and cookware in the oven drawer that are recommended for oven use in the upper oven. Fig. 2 For best results • For best results with the warmer oven, pastries, casseroles with crumb toppings and bakery type items should be cooked in the upper oven. • When using the warmer oven, limit the number of times the drawer is opened; this will minimize heat loss. Repeated opening of the drawer during the warming process may produce uneven results.
