how to use the warmer drawer GENERAL FEATURES The warming drawer is fitted with an heating element (500 W) placed on the top. The heating can be regulated from 86 °F (30 °C) (LO) to 248 °F (120 °C) (HI). On the top part of the drawer a moisture selector is fitted. For correct use see the "MOISTURE SELECTOR" chapter. C3 USING THE WARMING DRAWER FOR THE FIRST TIME • Switch on the warming drawer empty at maximum power (HI) for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from the components. • When the warming drawer has cooled down and unplugging the range, clean the inside of the drawer with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it perfectly. WARNING: The drawer is hot during operation, use the handle. OFF HI LO Fig. 3.1 TO USE THE WARMING DRAWER • Push and turn the control knob to a temperature setting: (LO), (HI) or between (LO) and (HI) position. • Slide the Moisture selector to a Moist or Dry position. Intermediate positions can be setted (fig. 3.2) (see the "MOISTURE SELECTOR" chapter) • Allow time for the drawer to be preheated. • Preheat with rack in place if using that arrangement. • Preheat empty serving dish while preheating drawer. • Add cooked, hot food in cooking utensil or to heat-safe serving dishes. • Food may be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish. • Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. WARNING: The warming drawer is for keeping hot food hot. Never use it to warm or heat a room or to warming plates. CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. If it melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable. CORRECT USE OF THE WARMING DRAWER • The warming drawer will keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. • Always start with hot food. • DO NOT use to heat cold food other than proofing yeast dough, crisping crackers, chips, and dry cereal, or warming dishes or plates. • Use care when opening the drawer. Open door a crack and let hot air or steam escape before re-moving or replacing food. • Do not place food in unopened containers in the drawer. Pressure could build up and cause container to burst. • Do not touch the interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the drawer could become hot enough to cause burns. • Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot heating element located upper the drawer. • Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish. • Do not store flammable materials in the drawer. • Do not use plastic containers. Do not use no heat resistant containers. • Do not use the warming drawer as a storage drawer. IMPORTANT: During the self-cleaning cycle the warming drawer do not operates. If during self-clening cycle the warmimg drawer control knob has been turned ON return the knob to the OFF position. Otherwise at the end of the self-cleaning cycle and after having turned the oven selector control knob to the OFF position, the warming drawer will operates. 11
