4.1 Temperature Control

The warming drawer features temperature settings ranging from 90°F to 250°F (32°C to 121°C). Adjust the temperature knob or control panel to select the desired heat level:

• Low Setting (90-150°F): Ideal for plate warming, proofing bread, or keeping delicate foods warm without drying them out.
• Medium Setting (150-200°F): Suitable for most cooked foods, such as casseroles, vegetables, and roasted meats.

Allow the drawer to preheat for approximately 15-20 minutes before placing food inside for best results.
