Temperature Control Settings
The knob is used to select the temperature of the
drawer and is located on the right side of the
control panel. The “1” setting represents low, “2”
represents medium, and “3” represents high. The
majority of foods are held at a medium setting to
maintain a serving temperature. However, your own
preference may be for hotter foods.

To keep several types of food hot for serving, key the temperature
setting for the meat. For example, to hold rare roast beef, select a
lower setting, cover the other foods that otherwise would be kept at a
higher setting.

Proofing
Yeast dough can be proofed in the warming drawer. Place the dough
in a bowl. Place the bowl on the low rack in the drawer. Fill the
moisture cup half full with water and place in the opening in the rear
center of the low rack. Turn the temperature control to the lowest
setting to facilitate the fermentation time. A towel should be placed
over the dough to minimize surface drying. The dough should remain
in the warming drawer until it has doubled in size and a slight
depression remains when the surface is touched gently with a finger.

Moisture Selector Control (VEWD models only)
The moisture selector control is located at the top of the warming
drawer. To keep foods moist, move the handle to the right. This closes
the vents and seals the moisture inside the drawer. For crisp foods,
move the handle to the left. This opens the vents and allows the
moisture to escape. The moisture selector can be placed in any
position between “-” (open for less moisture) and “+” (closed to retain
moisture) to maintain any degree of moisture.

In the closed position, the drawer is completely sealed which keeps
the hot foods moist and soft. In this setting, condensation may be
noticed around the inside edge of the drawer. If the drawer is not full,
there may be some drying on the surface of the food. If this happens,
simply cover the food with a lid or aluminum foil.

simply cover the food with a lid or aluminum foil.
When in the open position, the drawer is vented, which lets moisture
escape. This dry heat keeps the foods exterior dry and crisp. With the
vents open, it is normal for moisture to collect on surfaces above the
warming drawer. Simply wipe up the moisture with a dry cloth.
