Positioning Racks And Pans; How To Use - KitchenAid KEWD105 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

To keep foods moist, put slide on MOIST, closing vents.
Closing the vents seals the drawer, keeping hot food soft and
moist.
To keep foods crisp, put slide on DRY, opening vents. With
the vents open the moisture is released from the drawer,
keeping hot food crisp.

Positioning Racks and Pans

Dual level rack
The rack accompanying your drawer can be used in two different
positions, high and low.
Low position
Raises the utensil ¹⁄₂ inch (1.27 cm) from bottom of drawer.
High position
Lets you stack items in the drawer.
To stack items:
Rack will fit from front to back or side to side.
NOTE: When placing front to back, drawer must be fully
open.
It may be necessary to cover some foods and use a higher
temperature setting with larger loads.
To warm both cooked foods and empty serving dishes at the
same time, place the serving dishes on the drawer bottom
during preheat and the food on the high rack position after
preheat.
Foods contained in heat-safe glass or glass ceramic utensils
may require a higher temperature setting than food contained
in metal utensils.
Extra time should be allotted for the drawer temperature to
stabilize, when adding items or checking food.
Pans
The pans provided can withstand oven temperatures and are
approved for oven cooking.
If not cooking in pan, warm pans during preheat time. Food
temperature will fall below recommended levels if pan is not
warm.
