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 set-
ting allows steam and moisture to escape from
the drawer.
NOTE: Condensation may form on inner sur-
faces. This is normal. To keep foods moist,
slide control to the MOIST setting, closing the
vents. Closing the vents will seal the drawer
and keep hot foods soft and moist.
To keep foods crisp, slide control to the DRY
setting, 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.

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.
The warming drawer is ideal for keeping hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. It is
designed to operate properly 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 an elevated rack.
For best results, do not hold foods in the warm-
ing 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 tempera-
ture 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 Hi 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: Lo (low),
between Lo and Med (medium low), Med
(medium), between Med and Hi (medium
high), or Hi (high).
NOTE: For best results, meats, seafood,
poultry and any foods containing meat,
seafood or poultry must be set to medium
or higher.
2. Select MOIST or DRY setting.
3. Allow warming drawer to preheat. Recom-
mended minimum preheating times are 5
minutes for Lo, 10 minutes for Med, and
20 minutes for Hi.
