USING THE WARMING DRAWER
PROOFING PROOFING
The proofing function maintains the drawer temperature between 77 and 95° F [25-35° C].
PROCEDURE

2. Place the dough, wrapped in a slightly damp cloth, in the middle of the drawer.
FOOD WARMING FOOD WARMING
Food recommended for warming: meat, chicken, fish, sauces, vegetables, side dishes and soups.
• To avoid spills, do not overfill the dishes.
• Arrange the dishes in the drawer and close it carefully so that any liquids do not spill.
• It is advisable not to warm food for more than an hour to prevent it from losing nutritional
value.
• If food will be held for more than one hour, it must be held at 140° F [60° C] or above. (MED)
Cover moist food and liquids with a lid or heat-resistant cling film. This will prevent the moisture
from escaping, condensation from forming, and moisture settling on the outside of the dishes.
Do not cover roast or fried dishes which need to stay crisp. Keep these dishes hot at high
temperatures.
PROCEDURE
1. Place the dishes in the drawer to preheat.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to desired setting and allow the drawer and dishes to warm for 10
minutes.
3. Put the food in the preheated dishes.
4. Close the drawer again.
SWITCHING OFF SWITCHING OFF
Turn the knob to OFF. Take the dishes out of the drawer using a cloth or oven gloves.
SLOW COOKING SLOW COOKING
Slow cooking is ideal for cooking tender meat which needs to be medium rare or rare. This
cooking method means the meat will always be pink inside. This does not, however, mean that
the meat is raw or undercooked.
• This cooking method not only keeps the juices inside, but it also makes it easy to keep the
meat hot.
• Suitable dishes to use: glass, porcelain or ceramic with a lid.
PROCEDURE
1. Preheat the warming drawer with the chosen dish to the maximum temperature for 15
minutes.
2. Heat some butter or oil in a pan. Brown the meat well for the time indicated in the table,
then place it immediately in the preheated pan and cover with the lid.
3. Set the thermostat between MED/MAX (140/195° F ) [60/90° C] for the time required to
finish the cooking.
