General Safety Precautions

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING WARNING

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use it only to warm food and heat plates and utensils. It is not designed for commercial, industrial or laboratory use.

• Only model OWD24 is approved for use in outdoor installations and near water (bathrooms). Do not use, store or install warming drawer models other than OWD24 near water, for example, near sinks, swimming pools or in a wet basement.

• Model OWD24, when installed as a towel warmer, must be installed indoors and have the supplied wire rack installed in the drawer bottom according to these instructions.

• Do not install or operate a product that is damaged, has a damaged power cord or plug, or is malfunctioning in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• Make sure that the appliance has been properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the electrical outlet so that you know where to disconnect power to the appliance.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the warming drawer unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. All other service should be done by a qualified technician.

• Use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

• Before cleaning or performing any type of service, make sure that the power plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that the unit is cool.

• DO NOT TOUCH ANY HOT SURFACES IN OR

ON THE WARMING DRAWER DURING OR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. Use the handle instead.

After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them. Heating elements may be hot, even though they are dark in color.

• To avoid the possibility of fire or burns, do not allow clothing, potholders, towels or rags to come into contact with any part of the warming drawer during and immediately after use. Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the appliance.

• Clean the warming drawer thoroughly before operating it for the first time.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the warming drawer, do not overcook food. Do not leave it unattended with paper, plastic or other combustible materials inside.

• If materials inside the warming drawer should ignite, keep the drawer closed and shut off the power at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

• Exercise caution when opening the warming drawer.

Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the warming drawer.

• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from the warming drawer. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.

• Do not put items like whole eggs, sealed containers or closed glass jars in the drawer. They may explode when heated, causing injury.

• When the warming drawer is on in continuous mode

(∞), it will remain on until turned off manually. Exercise caution when operating the unit in continuous mode.

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

• Properly clean and maintain the unit regularly as instructed in the use and care manual. Clean only those parts listed, in the manner specified.

• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or abrasive/caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance. They may permanently damage the finishes. Do not use aerosol cleaners, because they may be flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts.

• Make sure the warming drawer is used only by those individuals who are able to operate it properly.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb on any part of the appliance, including the drawer. Doing so may cause tipping, damage, serious injury or death.

• Do not leave children unattended in the area around the appliance. Do not allow children to operate it, play with the controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts. Do not store items of interest to children above the warming drawer. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.

Chassis

• A qualified technician must complete the installation of this builtin appliance. Proper installation is the customer's responsibility.

• Carefully check the location where the drawer is to be installed.

The drawer should be placed for convenient access. Make certain that electrical power can be provided in the selected location. Install the warming drawer in wood cabinets only.

• Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted. Be certain that proper clearance is provided for the drawer when it is in the open position.

• The specified minimum cabinet depth and width must be provided. The cabinet depth and width must completely enclose the recessed portion of the drawer.

• Cabinet cutout dimensions must be used as indicated. All contact surfaces between the appliance and the cabinet must be solid and level. The drawer support platform must be flush with the bottom edge of the cabinet cutout.

• Make certain that you have everything necessary to ensure a proper installation before proceeding.

• A custom front panel is required for IWD series models and optional for OWD24.

• An optional Epicure ® style front panel kit is available for model OWD24.

Installation Specifications

Install Support Platform in

Cabinet

Chassis face

Provide a platform (100 lb. load capacity) within the cabinet upon which the warming drawer will be supported. The platform must be installed level and straight. The top edge of the platform must be flush with the cutout at the front of the cabinet. There are no provisions to level the warming drawer after it has been installed. 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick plywood is recommended.

NOtE: If the drawer is not installed in a level fashion, the drawer may slide open on its own or may not seal tightly, allowing heat to escape and resulting in poor warming drawer performance.
