Setting Warm & Serve Drawer Control (If Equipped) Arranging Warm & Serve Drawer Rack Positions The rack can be used in 2 ways: • In the upright position 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). • In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack. Set the Warm & Serve Drawer Rack in either position as shown below (Figure 1). Operating the Warm & Serve Drawer The purpose of the Warm & Serve Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warm & Serve Drawer. All food placed in the Warm & Serve 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 utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warm & Serve Drawer. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warm & Serve Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned. Warm & Serve Drawer Rack in upward position Figure 1 Warm & Serve Drawer Rack in downward position Warm & Serve Drawer Temperature Selection Recommended Warm & Serve Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 2. If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warm & Serve Drawer while in use.
