Before Setting Warmer Drawer Control

Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions

Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown below.

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).

Downward PositionUpright Position

Setting Warmer Drawer Control

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.

To Operate the Warmer Drawer

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.

Note: The knob shown below is typical only.

Warmer Drawer Recommended

Food Settings Chart

Food Item Setting

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the

warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot.

Indicator Light

The indicator light is located above the thermostat control knob. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. Make sure indicator light is off when removing food from drawer.

To Set the Thermostat Control

The thermostat control knob is used to select the temperature of the warmer drawer. It is located at the right side of the warmer drawer in the open position. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and LO. The control can be set to the three settings, or anywhere between.

1. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.

2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will reach the LO setting in about 12 minutes, the MED setting in about 15 minutes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.

3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF.

Temperature Selection

Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil.

Bacon HI Biscuits MED Casseroles MED Eggs MED Empty Dinner Plates LO Fish, Seafood MED Fried Foods HI Gravies, creams, sauces MED Ham MED Hamburger Patties HI Pancakes, Waffles HI Pastries MED Pies MED Pizza HI Pork Chops HI Potatoes (baked) HI Potatoes (mashed) MED Poultry HI Roasts (Beef, Pork, Lamb) MED Rolls, soft LO Rolls, hard MED Vegetables MED

Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.

When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.

Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from the drawer. Open only for adding or removing food.

To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates

Heat bowls and plates on the LO setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to raise them off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat fine china, check with the manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

To remove control knob, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. Clean with a cloth soaked in soapy water. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knob after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Cleaners made especially for stainless steel are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners. DO NOT clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners.

The rack may be removed for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

General Cleaning
