SEM/SEMW Oven Care and Use Manual
TIPS:
• Preheat with a rack in place if using one.
• An empty serving dish can be preheated at the
same time the drawer is being preheated to re-
ceive hot food.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Never
line the drawer with foil.
• When holding hot, cooked foods and warming
empty serving dishes at the same time, place
the serving dishes on a cooling rack and the food
items on the bottom of the drawer.
• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic uten-
sils may need higher thermostat settings as com-
pared to food held in metal utensils.
• Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
drawer to stabilize after adding items or check-
ing doneness.

can melt if in direct contact with the drawer or
a hot utensil. If it melts onto the drawer, it
may not be removable.
• Several different foods may be kept hot at the
same time. Set the drawer temperature for the
food needing the highest setting. Place item need-
ing the highest setting on the bottom of the drawer;
set the item needing less heat on a cooling rack or
inverted pan.
