Before Setting Warmer Drawer Control 5 Arranging Warmer 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 under). • In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates). Upright Position Downward Position Setting Warmer Drawer Controls To Operate the Warmer Drawer Humidity Controller Feature The purpose of the warmer 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 warmer drawer. All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp foods. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer. This feature may be used to control humidity in the Warmer Drawer. The control knob is located on the inner front panel of the Warmer Drawer. For dry heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of less moist (Figure 1). This allows more of the moist heat to escape and provides a dryer environment for the food in the Warmer Drawer. Figure 1 Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot. Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates. The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer. For moist heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the direction of more moist (Figure 2). This will help keep the food in the Warmer Drawer from drying out. Both heat and moisture will be applied to the Warmer Drawer cavity. Figure 2
