Moist-Dry Slide Control
The Moist-Dry slide control allows you to open or close the vent
slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in, while the
DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escape from the
drawer.
NOTE: Condensation may form on inner surfaces. This is normal.
To keep foods moist, slide control to MOIST, closing the vents.
Closing the vents will seal the drawer and keep hot foods soft
and moist.
To keep foods crisp, slide control to DRY, opening the vents.
Opening the vents releases moisture from the drawer and keeps
hot foods crisp and dry. See the Warming Drawer Temperature
Chart in the “Setting the Controls” section.
Setting the Controls
The Indoor/Outdoor Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. It is designed to operate
properly either indoors or outdoors at temperatures down to
32°F (0°C). If the drawer is operated at temperatures colder than
32°F (0°C), performance may be affected.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at
the same time.
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.
Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room
temperature on the High setting. Remove food from plastic bags
and place in 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.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired food
warming setting: Low, between Low and Med (medium low),
Med (medium), between Med and High (medium high), or
High.
NOTE: For best results, meats, seafood, poultry and any
foods containing meat, seafood or poultry should be set to
medium or higher.
2. Select MOIST or DRY setting.
3. Allow warming drawer to preheat. Recommended minimum
preheating times are 5 minutes for Low, 10 minutes for Med,
and 20 minutes for High.
4. Push in and turn the control knob to OFF when finished.
WARMING DRAWER TEMPERATURE CHART
Different foods require different settings in order to maintain the
ideal serving temperature. Use the following chart as a guide.
You can set the drawer temperature anywhere between Low and
High. For best results, meats, seafood and poultry should be set
to medium or higher. Cover food, if desired, to maintain heat and
moisture.
When keeping several different types of food hot, set the drawer
to the food requiring the highest temperature setting. Place
item(s) requiring the highest temperature on the bottom of the
drawer and those items requiring the lowest temperature on the
rack.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
