Stainless Steel Drawer Interior 2. Gasket 3.
Operation - Warming Drawer (some models) Operation CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines: • DO NOT use the warming drawer to heat cold food (exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates). • Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer. • DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Operation - Warming Drawer (some models) Crisping Stale Items • • • Place food in low sided dishes or pans. Preheat on Low. Check crispness after 45 minutes. Add time as needed.

Place empty plates or dishes in a cold warming drawer. Do not preheat drawer prior to placing dishes.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Getting the Most Out of Your Cooktop Cooktop Cooking Guide Boiling Water Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the following tips to decrease boil time: • • • • • • Recommended Settings Use a lid. Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of the burner. Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 29 for details). Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to place 1” (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area. Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Pan placement on one rack Pan placement on two racks Figure 19: Pan Placement Baking Pans Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans: • • • • • Preheating the Oven Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F when baking in glass. Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Oven Cooking Modes Bake, Proof and Warm Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast meats. Note: Depending on the model, you may hear the convection fan while the oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • • Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart. Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides. Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack • Automatic Convection Conversion In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F from the package or recipe temperature.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • • • • • • • • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking Use the broil pan and grid included with your range Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance For Best Results: • • • • • • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat more that 5 minutes. Meats should be at least 1 1/2” thick. Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (See Convection Broil Chart for examples). Use the broil pan and grid included with your range. Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering. Salt after cooking.
