30 Setting the Warmer Drawer Warmer Drawer The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperatures. Examples are vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and pastries. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer; always start with hot food. The warmer drawer may also be used to warm dinner plates. All food items placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Arranging warmer drawer rack positions The keep warmer drawer rack may be used in 2 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). • 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 potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned. • FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking. • Storage in or on appliance-flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range. • DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE - Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the warmer drawer.
