Retained Heat

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Hot Surface Indicator

The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Oven Features

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.

Convection Fan

The convection fan operates during all convection modes. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan turns off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan may also run during Fast Preheat and Self-Clean.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.
Tip: Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located at the bottom of the unit. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent, since it is important for air circulation.

You can find out how to turn this function on in the section on ~ "Basic settings".

Cooking with Induction

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:

• Saves time and energy when boiling and frying.
• Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.
• Heat control and safety – the cooktop increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction element stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the element, without having to switch it off first.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:

• Cookware made from enameled steel or cast iron
• Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel.

To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, refer to the section on "Suitability test of cookware".

To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the element. If a element does not detect an item of cookware, try placing it on another element with a smaller diameter.

Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:

• If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
  
• The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material of which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminum, for example. This may mean the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or detected.
  

Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of:

• Traditional Stainless Steel, Copper, Aluminum
• Glass
• Clay

Properties of the base of the cookware

The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time and energy.

Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

No pan or improper size

If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the element indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.

Empty pans or pans with a thin base

Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the technical service.

Pan detection

Each element has a lower limit for pan detection. This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware and the material of which its base is made. For this reason, you should always use the element that best matches the diameter of the base of the pan.

Cleaning and Maintenance-Cooktop

Daily Cleaning

Notes

• Clean only parts listed in manual.
• Bosch cleaners have been tested and approved for use on Bosch appliances. Other recommended cleaners do not constitute an endorsement of a specific brand.

Cleaning the Cooktop

WARNING - DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

CAUTION: Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface

• Regular, daily care using the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.
• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
• Never cook food directly on the glass.
• Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on glass surface.
• Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.
• Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface as it may scratch the surface.
• Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

Care Before Use

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of glass ceramic cooktop cleaner (packaged with range) on a daily basis. This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.

Daily Cleaning Techniques

WARNING - RISK OF BURNS
Be extremely careful as the cooking surface is hot. If using damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners give off noxious fumes when applied to hot surfaces.

1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
   Exception: Remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk with the razor blade scraper once the cooktop has sufficiently cooled. See Cooktop Care Chart on the next page.
2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.
3. Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

Using the Razor Blade Scraper

Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Wait until the cooktop has cooled sufficiently. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off of the cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Apply white vinegar if smudge remains and rinse.

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY
The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect the blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately when any imperfections are found. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning guidelines

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.

Avoid these cleaners

• Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may damage or permanently stain the cooktop.
• Caustic cleaners such as Easy Off® may stain the cooktop surface.
• Abrasive cleaners.
• Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
• Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.
• Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain the cooktop.
• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

Special Features

The special features provide you with additional conveniences when cooking.

Learn more about these special features in the following sections:

• Probe (some models)
• Sabbath Mode
• Panel Lock

Probe

The probe measures the internal temperature of the food. The probe is available for Bake, Roast and all convection cooking modes except Convection Broil.

Some models include a temperature probe used to sense internal temperature of meats during cooking.

The probe ships with a black plastic safety cap over the pointed metal end of the probe. The cap must be removed prior to use.

Inserting the probe:

Insert the tip of the probe in the middle and thickest part of the meat or the breast for poultry. Make sure the probe is not touching fat, bone or parts of the oven or the pan.

Note: Food must be completely thawed before inserting the probe into the meat.

To use the probe:

1. Insert the probe into the meat as described above. The probe symbol is displayed.
2. Connect the probe to the oven. If the probe is not connected to the oven prior to starting Probe mode, an error tone sounds and the message “INSERT PROBE” is displayed.
3. Set the cooking mode and temperature.
4. The Set Probe Temp screen is displayed. A three digit input prompt “- - -” blinks in the lower right corner. Use the numeric keypad to enter the desire probe temperature and press Enter.
   Note: The minimum probe temperature that can be set is 100°F (40°C) and the maximum is 200°F (100°C). If the probe temperature entered is outside this range, an error is displayed.
   
5. The probe current temperature and target temperature are both displayed in the format “105/180” at the lower right corner of the display. The actual temperature will display <80 until the food temperature reaches 80°F.
   The displayed probe temperature is updated in increments of 5° during the cooking process.
   
6. When the probe temperature reaches the set temperature, the cooking mode turns off. The current time is displayed and the message “COOKING COMPLETE” blinks at the bottom left of the display. An alarm tone sounds every 10 seconds for 2 minutes.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

General Tips

Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1’’ to 1 1/2’’ of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Rack Position

Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from bottom to top.
Consult the food cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions.

The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack postions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack.

Aluminum Foil

WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil and Warm modes.
• Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof modes.
• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.
• Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.

Preheat Reminders

Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.

• The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.
• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and some frozen foods.
• Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.
• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

For Best Results

• Use the cooking recommendation charts as a guide.
• See charts at the end of the book.
• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25°F when using this type of dish. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
• Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25°F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
• Do not set broil pans or any other heavy object on the open oven door.
• Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance. Store pans outside the oven.

Opening the Oven Door

Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door.

High Altitude Baking

When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.

For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Condensation

It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Temperature Range by Cooking Mode
Temperatures shown are in Fahrenheit.

Bake

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

• Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1-1^” space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.

Auto Convection Conversion

Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes require a 25°F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection Conversion reduces the temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.

The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the Settings section for details.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the appliance by the convection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

• Slight decrease in cook time.
• Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F. Refer to the cooking chart at end of this manual.
• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1-11/2'' of air space around the pan.
• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see following graphic).

Convection Multi-Rack

Convection Multi-Rack cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. The Convection Multi-Rack is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.

The benefits of Convection Multi-Rack include:

• Even browning.
• Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.

Tips

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1“ to 1 “ of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

Pizza

In the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

• There might be a slight decrease in baking time.
• Check before minimum package time.
• When baking a frozen pizza:
  For a crispy crust, place directly on the rack.
  For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.
• If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recommendations while the oven is preheating.
• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.
• Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.

Roast

Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.

Roast is best suited for large cuts of meat and poultry.

Tips

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
• For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
• Roasting bags and using a liquid are suitable for use in this mode.
• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.

The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.

The benefits of Convection Roast mode include:

• As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.
• Rich, golden browning.

Tips

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
• Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
• Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven.
• See charts for recommended rack positions.

Broil

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.

The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1“or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.

The benefits of broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking.
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tips

• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least 3/4” thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
• Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack, for broiling.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.
• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
• For broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.

Convection Broil

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.

Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use Convection Broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Temperature must be set within 450° - 550°F to enable Broil and Convection Broil.

Tips

• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least 11/2'' thick.
• Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack, for broiling.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
• For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.

Proof

In Proof, the appliance uses the upper and lower elements to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.

• No preheat is necessary.
• Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
• The Proof mode temperature is 85°F to 125°F.
• The default temperature in Proof mode is 100°F.
• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

Warm

In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.

• Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot for up to one hour until ready to serve.
• Warm mode temperatures are 150°F to 225°F.
• The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170°F.
• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

CAUTION - WHEN USING WARM MODE, FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

• Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.
• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F (60°C) or warmer.
• DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.

Cleaning and Maintenance-Oven

Oven Cleaning Guide

Maintenance

Replacing an Oven Light

CAUTION - WHEN REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT:

• Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
• The lenses must be in place when using the appliance.
• The lenses serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.
• The lenses are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass could cause an injury.
• Light socket is live when door is open.

Bulb Specifications:

40 watt, appliance bulb, standard Edison base.

To Change the Bulb:

• Turn off the power to the oven at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).
• Remove the glass cover by unscrewing it. Turn the glass counterclockwise to remove it.
• Remove the bulb. The bulb unscrews counterclockwise.
• Grasp the new bulb with a clean, dry cloth to prevent depositing skin oils on the glass which could lead to premature bulb failure. Replace the bulb by screwing it in turning the bulb clockwise.
• Screw the glass cover back on.
• Turn power back on at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).

How to Remove the Oven Door

WARNING

• Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
• The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breakage.
• Grasp only the side of the oven door. Do not grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand and cause damage or injury.
• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could result in personal injury or product damage.
• To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed, be sure both levers are securely in place before removing the door. Also, do not force door open or closed-the hinge could be damaged and injury could result.
• Do not lay removed door on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall over.

To help avoid injury or damage, be sure to read the above WARNING before attempting to remove the oven door.

1. Open the oven door to its fully open position.
2. Flip levers on hinges toward you.
   
   Note: It may be necessary to use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to gently pry the upper part of the lever away from the housing. Take care to avoid scratching the housing.
3. Bring both door hinge levers to their fullest down position as shown in the illustration. The left and right door hinges differ slightly but operate in the same manner.
4. Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop levers, locking the hinges at the proper angle for door removal. The door will be open about 7 inches at the top. This takes the spring tension off the hinges so the door can be easily lifted out.
   
5. The door is heavy. Use both hands to firmly grip it by the sides. Do not grip the door by the handle. Maintaining the door angle, lift the door straight up approximately 3/4” to unhook the hinges from the slots and then pull it out towards you until the hinges are clear of the oven housing.
   
6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.

How to Replace the Oven Door

1. Holding the door firmly in both hands, grip it on either side, not by the handle.
2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you until it opens about 7 inches at the top.
3. Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will go and then lower the door straight down. The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to lower into place. The door should lower about 3/4” and stop.

Temperature Recommendations

Cleaning and Maintenance-Warming Drawer

CAUTION: To prevent burns, do not remove drawer while hot. Be sure drawer is empty before removing.

Note: The warming drawer is opened with a Push-ToOpen mechanism. It is referred to in this chapter as a PTO mechanism.

Cleaning the Warming Drawer

Removing Drawer from Housing

NOTICE: The following is the manufacturer’s recommendations for removing and installing the drawer to minimize the risk of damage to the PTO mechanism.

1. Remove the drawer from the drawer housing.
   Pull drawer to fully open position.
   Press down right drawer release lever.
   Lift up left drawer release lever.
   Firmly pull the drawer straight out.
   Retract cabinet rails while drawer is removed.
   
2. Grasp both sides of the drawer and pulling straight and level, carefully remove the drawer housing. This step may require light to moderate force to completely remove drawer.
   
3. Install or service (clean) housing with drawer removed.
   

Installing Drawer to Housing

The slides mounted to each side of the housing wall have two moving components, an inner rail and a ball bearing carrier which need to be in the proper orientation for accurate installation and alignment.

There is also a visible locking mechanism located at the rear of each slide.

Note: The housing of your warming drawer should match the image below identically before starting your installation. The ball bearing carrier should be locked in to the inner rail’s black plastic rail tip at the front of the inner rail.

1. With the drawer removed, set the slide inner rail to the drawer locked position by pushing the slide inner rail toward the rear of the housing until it locks in place.
   
   Note: A moderate force pushing on the black plastic ball carrier locking mechanism is required to set the slide to the drawer locked position. The drawer is locked when it remains in place and does not spring back to the open position.
   
2. Position the drawer assembly in front of the housing assembly and align the rail (plastic rail tip) to the slide ball carrier assembly. Keeping the drawer assembly level and square to the housing, gently insert the drawer to the housing assembly.
   
   Notes:
   A slight side-to-side wiggle motion may be required to properly get the ball bearings to accurately align.
   Remember: You are attempting to align two sets of ball bearings at this point. If more than a moderate force is required to insert the drawer at this time, remove the drawer and repeat the installation procedure to this point.
3. Continue to insert the drawer keeping the drawer level and square to the housing until a slight increase in resistance is felt at the approximate position shown below.
   
   NOTICES:
   At this position, a slight increase in closure force is required with several small increments of force applied to the drawer to accurately align and set the drawer for proper operation.
   An audible “click” should be heard when the drawer is properly closed causing the drawer to lock in the closed position.
   
4. Test the operation of the PTO drawer by pushing on the center lower portion of the drawer front (optimum location for function).
   
   Note: It should be noted the recommended and optimum location for opening the drawer is the lower center front. The drawer will operate with an opening force applied to any location on the drawer front, however a slight increase in opening force may be required.
