The warming drawer is operated by the
timer, the temperature selector, and the
humidity control.
The controls are only visible when the
drawer is open.
Once the warming drawer begins to
heat the circulation fan will turn on to
evenly heat the drawer. When the
selected temperature is reached, the
heat and the fan will shut off to prevent
food from drying out.
If the temperature drops below the
selected temperature, the heat will turn
back on.
Timer
The timer activates the heating
elements and circulation fan. To warm
food the timer must be turned to an
appropriate time setting. A time setting
of1-4hours or "Continuous" can be
selected.
Guide to the controls
To set a limited time:
–
Turn the timer clockwise from "0" to
the desired time (up to 4 hours.)
– To set an unlimited time:
Turn the timer counterclockwise from
"0" to "Continuous". The knob can
not be turned past "4 h" to
"Continuous".
– The warming drawer is turned off at
the "0" setting.
–
The "Continuous" setting will warm
the drawer until the knob is turned to
"0".
Please note, the "Continuous" setting
requires close supervision to
prevent fires. Forgotten food will dry
out and could ignite.
The appliance starts to heat once a
duration is set.
9
Guide to the controls
Temperature selector
The temperature is infinitely variable
between the basic setting (see
illustration) and the "High" setting.
The temperature settings:
– Basic setting: 97°F (36 °C)
– Low: 140 °F (60 °C)
– Medium: 176 °F (80 °C)
– High: 203 °F (95 °C)
10
Guide to the controls
Humidity control
The humidity control adjusts the
humidity within the drawer. The
humidity control can be set anywhere
between "Moist" and "Dry".
Use oven mitts when adjusting the
humidity control. The control may
become hot during use.
"Moist": This position closes the
–
vents and seals the moisture in the
drawer to keep food moist and soft.
Condensation may occur around the
inside edge of the drawer.
"Dry": This position opens the vents
–
for maximum airflow to keep food
crisp.
This setting is ideal for keeping both
dry and liquid foods warm, e.g. soup
and bread. Cover liquids to prevent
evaporation. In this setting moisture
may collect on surfaces above the
warming drawer.
– "Center": This position is between
"Moist" and "Dry" and partially opens
the vents to keep food warm and
slightly moist, e.g. pizza.

Tips
To keep different foods hot, set the
–
temperature for the food requiring
the highest temperature setting.
Place the food needing the highest
setting on the rack and the other
food on the floor of the drawer.
For large quantities of food, it may be
–
necessary to use a higher temp
erature and humidity level.
When warming food and dishes at
–
the same time, place the dishes on
the floor of the drawer and the food
on the rack.
– Food in heat resistant glass and
ceramic containers may require
higher temperatures than food in
metal dishes.
– Allow extra time for the temperature
to adjust after adding or checking on
food or dishes.
-
Please note: Be careful not to place
food too close to the upper heating
element. Increased temperature and
proximity may cause a fire!
– Do not block the vents on the inside
of the drawer. This will prevent food
and dishes from warming evenly.
