How to Position Racks and Pans in your KitchenAid Warming Drawer
Positioning Rack
Warming Cookware: Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.
- The 2 racks accompanying your warming drawer will fit from front to back or side to side.
- Each rack raises an oven-safe container 1¹⁄₈" (2.86 cm) from the bottom of the drawer.
NOTE: The warming drawer must be fully opened when placing or removing racks.
- Keep the number of times the drawer is opened to a minimum in order to maintain set temperature in the warming drawer.
Optional Pans (Accessories)
- The warming drawer includes 2 pan support rails designed to hold a variety of serving pan sizes. Pan sizes that can be used are 1/6, 1/9, 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3. A full size serving pan can be placed across the width of the 27" (68.6 cm) and 30" (76.2 cm) warming drawer.
- 1/2 size and 1/3 size pans may be purchased at Purchase Genuine Parts.
- Other size serving pans may be purchased at various retailers and restaurant supply stores.
- When using serving pans, make sure the pan support rails are properly installed in the locator notch before inserting pans.
