To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to the desired setting.
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.
When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF.
Temperature Selection
Referto the chart in the side column for recommended settings.
If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness
is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with
2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat
from the drawer. Open only tor adding or removing food.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the LO setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to
raise them off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat fine china,
check with the manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.

control humidity in the warmerdrawer. The humidity control knob can be set at any
position between Moist © (Figure 1) and Crispy (Figure 2) position. To set
the humidity controller, slightly unscrew the knob, slide the controller to the desired
location and screw the knob (closed) in place.
