IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR WARM & SERVE DRAWER • Clean the drawer regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits could catch fire. • Kitchen cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before Setting Control 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). Downward PositionUpright Position 4 5 Setting Control 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 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 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 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 right side of the warmer drawer in the open position. 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. Temperature Selection Refer to 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 for 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. Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates. The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require a small amount of force when opening and closing the drawer.
