To Set the Temperature Control
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 OFR
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular
food is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired,
remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium setting. When a combination of foods are to
be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the high
setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat
from the drawer. Open only for adding or removing food.
To Warm Serving Bowls and Plates
Heat bowls and plates on the LO setting. Place empty dishes on the rack to raise
them off drawer bottom. To further heat dishes or to heat fine china, check with
the manufacturer for maximum heat tolerance.
