Note: Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as:
vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and roils,
pastries and heated dinnerpiates.
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
•
In the upright position to allow low profile food Items to
be placed both underand on top of the rack (for
example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a
casserole dish under - See Fig. 1).
• In the downward position to allow you to place light
weight food items and empty dish ware (for example,
rolls or pastries and dinner plates - See Fig. 2).
The warmerd rawer is equipped with a catch which may require
extra force when opening and closing the drawer.

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 quality. Do not use
plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the
drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishes, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven use in the warmer drawer.
^CAUTION Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and
plates will be HOT.
