Tips for Better Performance

• When keeping several types of food hot, use the setting for the highest temperature food in the warming drawer. Place foods requiring the highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and those foods requiring the lowest temperature on the elevated rack.
• For best results, do not hold foods in the warming drawer longer than 1 hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
• Food must be cooked and at serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. Cover foods with a lid. Bread, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature on the HI setting. Remove food from plastic bags and place it in the oven-safe container.
• Oven-safe serving dishes and dinner plates can be heated while the warming drawer is preheating.

NOTE: To conserve heat, place cookware and positioning rack in the warming drawer before preheating.
