Setting Control
BEFORE SETTING WARMER DRAWER CONTROL
Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions
Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown below.
Upright Position
!
CAUTION
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer drawer as cookware and
plates will be hot.
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 extra force when opening and closing
the drawer.
Downward Position
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
• In the upright position to allow low
profile food items to be placed both un-
der 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
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.

SETTING WARMER DRAWER CONTROLS
To Set the Controls
The digital controls are used to set the temperature of the warmer drawer. It is
located at the right side of the warmer drawer in the open position.
To Power-Up the Controls
On the first power-up or after a power interruption, the unit will flash “88:88°”
in the display. Press the ON-OFF pad twice. The display will show “----”,
prompting to press another pad. If no other pad is touched, the unit will power
off after a few seconds.
To Set the Target Temperature
To select the lowest (90°F) warming temperature available, press the -lo
pad and wait for the a few seconds for the acceptance delay. A second
press of -lo will lower the temperature to Bread Proof, displayed by a “brPF”
in the screen. The Bread Proof function can also be accessed at any time
by pressing the pad. To select the highest (210°F) warming
temperature available, press the +hi pad and wait for the few
seconds acceptance delay.
For any temperature between the lowest (90°F) and the highest
(210°F), press the +hi or -lo pads until the desired temperature
is displayed. The pads will adjust the target temperature by 10°F
steps each time it is pressed. When the desired temperature is set,
wait a few seconds for the controls to accept the input. The display
will show the temperature rising to the target temperature and will
sound a chime when it is reached. It is recommended to let the unit
pre-heat for 10-15 minutes before placing meal in it.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the 140°F 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.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located in the lower center part of the front
drawer glass. It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until
the unit is turned off. Make sure indicator light is off when removing
food from the drawer.

This unit is programmed to automatically shutdown after 4 hours it is
left on. The element will stop warming the drawer, the indicator light
will turn off and the electronic display will show an “OFF” message,
to remind the user that the unit auto-shutted off by itself.
