IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this guide must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING!—ANTI-TIP BRACE REQUIRED

All warming drawers can tip and injury could result if not properly installed.

To prevent accidental tipping of the warming drawer, attach it to the wall with an anti-tip brace as described in the installation instructions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this guide.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded

by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your warming drawer unless it is specifically recommended in this guide.

All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse.

Mark it for easy reference.

• Before performing any service, unplug or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

• Do not leave children alone—

children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the drawer.

They could damage the warming drawer, or cause severe personal injury.

• Be sure the warming drawer is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure.

• Never leave the drawer open when you are not watching the warming drawer.

• Always keep combustible wall covering, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your warming drawer.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your warming drawer.

• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the warming drawer.

• Do not place more than 50 pounds into the drawer.

• 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.

• Do not warm food in the warming drawer for more than two hours.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above the warming drawer;

children climbing on the drawer to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the warming drawer.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

• Flame in the warming drawer can be smothered by closing the drawer or using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the warming drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your warming drawer.

• Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Keep the vent unobstructed.

• Do not use the warming drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

• Do not use the warming drawer for a storage area. Items stored in the warming drawer can ignite.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use.

• Clean only parts listed in the Care and

Cleaning section.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.

Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it.

This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

The ON signal light is visible through the light viewer in the drawer front panel when the drawer is closed. This is a reminder that the heat is on.

Moisture selector

The moisture selector is located on the inside front of the drawer.

To keep foods moist,

slide the moisture selector control away from the control knob. This closes the vent and seals the moisture inside the drawer. With the vent closed hot foods stay moist and soft.

In this setting condensation may occur around the inside edge of the drawer.

To keep foods crisp,

slide the moisture selector control to the right towards the control knob.

This opens the vents and allows the moisture to escape.

With the vents open, it is normal for moisture to collect on surfaces above the warming drawer.

When using the warming drawer…

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than proofing yeast dough, crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

HIGH

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 minutes

NOTE:

It is not necessary to preheat the drawer for proofing.

• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic utensils may need higher thermostat setting as compared to food in metal utensils.

• Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool. Allow extra time for temperature inside the drawer to stabilize after adding items.

• With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher thermostat setting and cover some of the cooked food items.

• Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to prevent it from drying out.

CAUTION:

Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

• Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing containers in warming drawer.

To warm serving bowl and plates

To warm serving bowls and plates set the control on LOW.

• Use only heat-safe dishes.

• Place the empty dishes on the rack to raise them off the bottom of the drawer. If you want hotter dishes or want to heat fine china, please check with the manufacturer of the dishes for their maximum heat tolerance.

• Preheat empty serving dish while preheating the drawer.

• When holding hot, cooked foods and warming empty serving dishes at the same time, place the serving dishes on the high rack position and the food on the bottom of the drawer.

CAUTION:

Dishes may be hot. Use pot holders or mitts when removing hot dishes.

To proof yeast bread dough

Yeast dough can be proofed in the warming drawer.

• Place your dish on the warming drawer pan bottom.

Be sure the controls are in the OFF position and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the warming drawer.

Most cleaning can be done to the pan with the pan in place in the drawer. However, the pan may be removed if further cleaning is needed.

Open the drawer fully. Using the finger grasp holds on the side of the drawer, lift the pan up and out.

Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean.

Clean the rack with detergent and water. After cleaning, rinse the rack with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Care and Cleaning

Electric Warming Drawer

Stainless steel

Control knob

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik ® , Simple Green ® or Formula 409 ® .

For hard to clean soil use a standard stainless steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami ® or Cameo ® .

Soils can also be soaked several hours with wet towels. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such as Stainless Steel Magic ® .

The control knob may be removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knob for cleaning, please note that it is in the PROOF position.

Wash the knob in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Dry and replace the knob.
