Tips for Using the Warming Drawer in Your Range

Below are some tips on using the warming drawer in your Thermador Range

  • Use ONLY heat-safe dishes in the warming drawer.
  • The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature.
  • Always start with hot food. DO NOT use the warming drawer to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips, and dry cereal or warming dishes or plates.
  • The warming drawer will automatically shut off after 12 hours.
  • You can leave food in the cookware it was prepared in. You can also transfer food to a heat-safe serving dish before placing it in the warming drawer. Aluminum foil may be used to cover food.
  • Do not leave food in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking.
  • Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if they come in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. If it melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable.

DO NOT use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the warming drawer, especially the oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
