Temperature Controls
The temperature control dial is used to select the temperature of the warming drawer. It is located on the right hand side of the control panel and has dial settings from 50°F-230°F. The warming drawer should only be opened when adding or removing food. Continuous opening of the drawer allows warm air to escape and make the food colder. Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat Insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This may affect the performance of the warming drawer, and the Interior finish and possibly be a safety issue.
Heat-On Light
The heat-on light is located above the temperature control knob. The red light turns on when the control knob is set and cycles “on” and “off” with the heating element as temperature is maintained.
