Keep warm drawer rack positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the upright position (Figure 1) to allow low
profi le 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 underneath).
• In the downward position (Figure 2) to allow you
to place light weight food items and empty dishware
(for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on
the rack.
Set the keep warm drawer rack in either position.

Operating the keep warm drawer
The purpose of the keep warm 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 keep warm drawer. All food placed in the keep warm
drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very diffi cult to
clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for
oven use in the keep warm drawer.

Keep warm drawer temperature selection
Recommended keep warm drawer settings table is shown
below. If a particular food is not listed, start with the
MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid
or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept
at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a
combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance,
meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To
avoid heat loss, do not open the keep warm drawer while
in use.
Note: For best results, preheat the keep warm drawer
before adding the food. An empty drawer will preheat
in approximately 15 minutes.
4. When the food is ready for removal,
touch the on●off pad once to turn
the keep warm drawer OFF. The
keep warm drawer indicator light will
turn OFF.
CAUTION
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing
food from the keep warm drawer as cookware and
plates will be hot and you can be burned.

drawer features are located on the control panel. The
