Warming Cookware
Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow the cookware
manufacturer’s instructions.
Positioning Racks and Pans
Positioning Rack
The 2 racks accompanying your warming drawer will fit from front
to back or side to side.
NOTE: The warming drawer must be fully opened when placing
or removing racks.
Each rack raises an oven-safe container 1¹⁄₈" (2.86 cm) from the
bottom of the drawer.
Keep the number of times the drawer is opened to a minimum in
order to maintain set temperature in the warming drawer.
Optional Pans (accessory)
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 and 1/3 size pans may be purchased from the KitchenAid
®
Customer eXperience Center. See the “Assistance or Service”
section to order.
Other size serving pans can be purchased at various retailers and
restaurant supply stores.
Please refer to the following chart to determine the correct
positioning of the pan support rails for each of the pan sizes.
*Full size pans cannot be used with the 24" (61 cm) warming
drawer.
When using serving pans, make sure the pan support rails are
properly installed in the locator notch before inserting pans.
Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Check dough periodically for progress.
To Proof:
1. Cover dough with lightly oiled waxed paper and place
temperature safe bowl(s) on rack.
2. Set control knob to PROOF setting.
3. Place vent on MOIST setting.
4. Verify doneness by pressing 2 fingers ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) into dough.
If indentation remains, the dough is ready.
For second proofing of dough, repeat steps 1-4.
Slow Cook Function
The SLOW COOK function in the warming drawer cooks food
slowly at a low temperature over a long period of time, similar to
a countertop slow cooker.
When the warming drawer is installed outdoors, the SLOW
COOK function should not be used when the temperature is
below 32°F (0°C).
There are 2 settings: Hi and Lo. Guidelines for cooking times are
4 to 5 hours for Hi and 8 to 10 hours for Lo. Smaller quantities of
food may require less time, while larger quantities may require
more time.
When slow cooking, use serving pans (available for purchase) or
oven-safe cookware. To order serving pans, see the “Assistance
or Service” section.
Before slow cooking, thaw frozen foods completely.
IMPORTANT: Brown roasts thoroughly before starting to slow
cook.
