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. 1 2 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.
