Before Setting Warmer Drawer Control
(some models)
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)
Setting Warmer Drawer Control
(some models)
Note: The warmer drawer cannot be used during an oven self-cleaning cycle. 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 recom-
mended 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.
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 or below 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 left
side of the oven control. 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.
