BURN HAZARD

• DO NOT touch any of the surfaces inside or outside the

Warming Drawer during or immediately after use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.

• Exercise caution when opening the drawer. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the Warming

Drawer.

ALUMINUM FOiL USAGE

• DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the

Warming Drawer.

Using a _\>il liner could result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the performance of the Warming Drawer parts.

• To avoid excess condensation inside the drawer, foods may be covered with aluminum foil. This will also help keep the food from drying out.

MAXIMUM CAPACITY

* DO NOT place more than 50 pounds in the drawer.

OTHER

.

* The use of accessory attachments not recommended by

Sharp may cause injuries.

ABOUT CHILDREN

DRAWER

AND THE WARMING

Children below the age of 7 should use the Warming Drawer only with a supervising person very near to them. For children between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the

Warming Drawer comfortably.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the

Warming Drawer.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use dry potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to understand that the Warming Drawer is not a toy.

FOOD SAFETY

The purpose of the Warming Drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature.

Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the Warming Drawer.

When warming foods in oven sate glass and/or glass ceramic container, a higher temperature setting may be needed compared to heating in metal containers

Opening the drawer during use and/or adding more items will allow the hot air to escape and may require more time for the temperature in the drawer to stabilize.

Be sure to maintain sate food temperature.

The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or warmer.

To keep several foods hot together, set the temperature according to the tbod needing the highest setting. Place items needing highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and food needing less heat on the tray.
