Drawer Features Operation Your warming drawer works in two ways: 1. Seals moisture within the drawer to keep food moist. 2. Allows moisture to escape and keep food crisp. 2 3 1 4 The purpose of the warming drawer is to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated in the warming drawer. Warming Element Product Controls Turn the control knob clockwise to the desired setting. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the desired heat setting.
Operation Operation Drawer Indicator Light Temperature Control Settings The drawer indicator light is located on the front panel of the drawer. The drawer indicator light will glow red when the drawer element is heated. The light will cycle on and off as the temperature is maintained. The knob is used to select the temperature of the drawer and is located on the right side of the control panel. The “1” setting represents low, “2” represents medium, and “3” represents high.
Operation Operation Power “ON” Light Suggested Heat Settings The power “ON” light is located above the temperature control knob on Custom models and below the temperature control knob on Designer models.
