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.

Electrical Requirements

It is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your warming drawer, be provided.

Recommended Grounding Method

The warming drawer must be grounded. This warming drawer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

WARMING DRAWER USE

Control Knob

Push in and turn the control knob to turn on the warming drawer. The power indicator light will turn on and remain on while the warming drawer is in operation.

When finished, turn the control knob to OFF to turn off the warming drawer. When the warming drawer is turned off, the power indicator light will go out and the drawer will begin to cool.

The temperature is controlled by rotating the control knob to the desired setting. The temperature setting ranges from Lo to Hi on

A. Warming drawer temperature control zone B. Slow cooker temperature control zone C. Proofing bread control position D. Power indicator light

the warming drawer control to keep heated foods warm at the selected temperatures.

Moist-Dry Slide Control

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 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

To U se:

1. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired food

warming setting: Lo (low), between Lo and Med (medium low), Med (medium), between Med and Hi (medium high), or Hi (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 Lo, 10 minutes for Med, and 20 minutes for Hi.

4. Push in and turn the control knob to OFF when finished.

WARMING DRAWER TEMPERATURE CHART

Different foods require different settings in order to maintain the ideal serving temperature. Use the following chart as a guide.

You can set the drawer temperature anywhere between Lo and Hi. For best results, meats, seafood and poultry should be set to medium or higher. Cover food, if desired, to maintain heat and moisture.

When keeping several different types of food hot, set the drawer to the food requiring the highest temperature setting. Place item(s) requiring the highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and those items requiring the lowest temperature on the rack.

FOOD SETTING

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 at 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 HI 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.

Warming Cookware

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.

Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.

Positioning Racks and Pans

Positioning Rack

The 2 racks accompanying your warming drawer will fit from front to back or side to side.

NOTE: The warming drawer must be fully opened when placing or removing racks.

Each rack raises an oven-safe container 1¹⁄₈" (2.86 cm) from the bottom of the drawer.

Keep the number of times the drawer is opened to a minimum in order to maintain set temperature in the warming drawer.

Optional Pans (accessory)

The warming drawer includes 2 pan support rails designed to hold a variety of serving pan sizes. Pan sizes that can be used are 1/6, 1/9, 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3. A full size serving pan can be placed across the width of the 27" (68.6 cm) and 30" (76.2 cm) warming drawer.

1/2 and 1/3 size pans may be purchased from the KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center. See the “Assistance or Service” section to order.

Other size serving pans can be purchased at various retailers and restaurant supply stores.

Please refer to the following chart to determine the correct positioning of the pan support rails for each of the pan sizes.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Check dough periodically for progress.

To Proof:

1. Cover dough with lightly oiled waxed paper and place

temperature safe bowl(s) on rack.

2. Set control knob to PROOF setting.

3. Place vent on MOIST setting.

4. Verify doneness by pressing 2 fingers ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) into dough.

If indentation remains, the dough is ready.

For second proofing of dough, repeat steps 1-4.

Slow Cook Function

Full* Positions 1 and 3 2/3 Positions 1 and 3 1/2 Positions 1 and 3 1/3 Positions 1 and 3 or 1 and 2 1/6 Positions 1 and 2 1/9 Positions 1 and 2

*Full size pans cannot be used with the 24" (61 cm) warming

drawer.

The SLOW COOK function in the warming drawer cooks food slowly at a low temperature over a long period of time, similar to a countertop slow cooker.

When the warming drawer is installed outdoors, the SLOW COOK function should not be used when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C).

There are 2 settings: Hi and Lo. Guidelines for cooking times are 4 to 5 hours for Hi and 8 to 10 hours for Lo. Smaller quantities of food may require less time, while larger quantities may require more time.

When slow cooking, use serving pans (available for purchase) or oven-safe cookware. To order serving pans, see the “Assistance or Service” section.

Before slow cooking, thaw frozen foods completely. IMPORTANT: Brown roasts thoroughly before starting to slow

cook.
