Guide to the controls
The warming drawer is operated by the
timer, the temperature selector and the
humidity control
The controls are only visible when the
drawer is open.
Once the warming drawer begins to
heat the circulation fan will turn on to
evenly heat the drawer. When the
selected temperature is reached, the
heat and the fan will shut off to prevent
food from drying ouL
If the temperature drops below the
selected temperature, the heat will turn
back on.
Timer
The timer activates the heating
elements and circulation fan. To warm
food the timer must be turned to an
appropriate time setting. A time setting
of ! - 4 hours or "Continuous" can be
selected.

inside edge of the drawer.
"Dry": This position opens the vents
for maximum airflow to keep food
crisp.
"Dry" is ideal for keeping both dry

and bread. Cover liquids with a plate
or foi! to prevent evaporation.
In this setting moisture may collect
on surfaces above the warming
drawer_
"Center": This position is between

temperature for the food requiring
the highest temperature setting,
Place the food needing the highest
setting on the rack and the other
food on the floor of the drawer,
- For large quantities of food, it may be
necessary to use a higher temp-
erature and humidity level,
- When warming food and dishes at
the same time, place the dishes on
the floor of the drawer and the food
on the rack,
- Food in heat resistant glass and
ceramic containers may require
higher temperatures than food in
metal dishes,
- Allow extra time for the temperature
to adiust after adding or checking on
food or dishes,
- Do not block the vents on the inside
of the drawer, This will prevent food
and dishes from warming evenly,
