The moisture selector control is located at the top of the warming
drawer. To keep foods moist, move the knob to the right. This closes the
vents and seals the moisture inside the drawer. For crisp foods, move the
knob 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.
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.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods placed in the drawer, nor to keep
foods warm that are wrapped or placed in plastic containers for heating.
Plastics can melt onto the drawer if they are in direct contact. If melted
onto the drawer, they can be very difficult to remove.

The power “on” indicator lights on the DEWD models are located on
the outer door panel and above the temperature control knob. It turns on
when the control knob is set and cycles on and off with the heating
element as temperature is maintained. On the DFWD models, there is
only one power “ON” indicator light located above the temperature
control knob.

The temperature control knob is used to select the temperature of
the drawer and is located on the right side of the control panel. The 1
setting located on the control panel 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, use 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.
Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the
food to cool. The drawer should not be opened unless adding or
removing food.

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. On the DEWD models, place the
moisture control setting to the closed “+” position. 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.

To warm serving bowls and plates, place temperature control on a
low setting. Place the empty dishes on the low rack to raise them off the
bottom of the drawer. If you want hotter dishes or want to heat fine china,
please check with the manufacturer of the dishes for their maximum heat
tolerance.
