The Temperature Control is located on the inside right  
panel of the warmer drawer. The temperature range is  
from 80 °F to 210 °F, and the temperature settings are  
approximate from LO to HI throughout the range. Set the  
control to LO, MED, HI or anywhere in between.  
1 To set the temperature, push in and turn the control  
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 min-  
utes, and the HI setting in about 18 minutes.  
3 When done warming, turn the temperature control to  
OFF.  
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.
