Moist-Dry Slide Control The Moist-Dry slide control allows you to open or close the vent slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in, while the DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escape from the drawer. NOTE: Condensation may form on inner surfaces. This is normal. To keep foods moist, slide control to MOIST, closing the vents. Closing the vents will seal the drawer and keep hot foods soft and moist. To keep foods crisp, slide control to DRY, opening the vents. Opening the vents releases moisture from the drawer and keeps hot foods crisp and dry. See the Warming Drawer Temperature Chart in the "Setting the Controls" section. Setting the Controls WARNING 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. The Indoor/Outdoor Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at serving temperature. It is designed to operate properly either indoors or outdoors at temperatures down to 32°F (0°C). If the drawer is operated at temperatures colder than 32°F (0°C), performance may be affected. Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. When keeping several types of food hot, use the setting for the highest temperature food in the warming drawer. Place foods requiring the highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and those foods requiring the lowest temperature on the elevated rack. For best results, do not hold foods in the warming drawer longer than 1 hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes. Food must be cooked and heated to serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. Cover foods with a lid. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature on the High setting. Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container. Oven-safe serving dishes and dinner plates can be heated while the warming drawer is preheating. NOTE: To conserve heat, place cookware and positioning rack in the warming drawer before preheating. To Use: 1. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired food warming setting: Low, between Low and Med (medium low), Med (medium), between Med and High (medium high), or High. NOTE: For best results, meats, seafood, poultry and any foods containing meat, seafood or poultry should be set to medium or higher. 2. Select MOIST or DRY setting. 3. Allow warming drawer to preheat. Recommended minimum preheating times are 5 minutes for Low, 10 minutes for Med, and 20 minutes for High. 4. Push in and turn the control knob to OFF when finished.
