IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Warning and Important Safety Instruction
(cont.)
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and materials.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE
when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an
appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items in the
drawer as they may melt or soften if left too close to
a heating element.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite
and metallic items may become hot and cause
burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.
About your Appliance
• DO NOT touch the heating elements or interior
surface of the drawer while it is in use. Use handles
or knobs.
• DO NOT store flammable materials in drawer.
Heating Elements
• Use only dry potholders. If moist or damp potholders
are used, steam from potholders could cause a
steam burn. DO NOT let potholders touch hot
heating elements located under the drawer. DO
NOT use a towel or bulky cloths in place of
potholders.
• Use care when opening the drawer. Let hot air or
steam escape (open vent) before removing or
replacing food.
• DO NOT place food in unopened containers in the
drawer. Pressure could build up and cause the
container to burst.
• NEVER use the appliance for other than intended
use.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the drawer. It is
an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat
beneath it. This will upset the performance and can
damage the interior finish.
• Always place warming racks in desired position
while drawer is cool.
• Keep drawer closed when not in use.
• DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your
warming drawer. Items contaminated with cooking
oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could
cause a load to catch fire.
• DO NOT install or store indoor models where they
will be exposed to the weather.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of
the drawer.
CAUTION
DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover foods placed
in the drawer, nor to keep foods warm that are
wrapped or placed in plastic containers for
heating. Plastics can melt onto the drawer if they
are in direct contact. If melted onto the drawer,
they can be very difficult to remove.
CAUTION
DO NOT use use any cleaning agent with
chlorine or chlorine compounds on stainless steel
finish. Chlorine and chlorine compounds are
corrosive to stainless steel.
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow
defrosted food to remain in the drawer for more
than two hours.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Warning and Important Safety Instruction
(cont.)
Before Using Drawer
• All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before using, clean the
drawer thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There
may be some burn off and odors on first use of
the appliance—this is normal.
CAUTION
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and
drawer is COOL before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or
electrical shock.
WARNING
FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
To reduce the risk of electric shock and
fire, DO NOT use a flexible power-
supply cord with this appliance.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
drawer or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, installation work and electrical wiring
must be done by qualified people in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated conditions.
WARNING
Make sure that incoming voltage is the same as
unit rating. An electric rating plate specifying
voltage, hertz, wattage, amps, and phase is
attached to the product. Wiring the warming
drawer with more voltage than it is rated for may
cause severe damage to the thermostat, element,
and other components. Wiring the warming
drawer with less voltage than it is rated for may
cause significant decrease in performance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your warming drawer works in two ways:
1. Seals moisture within the drawer to keep food moist.
2. Allows moisture to escape and keep food crisp.
The purpose of the warming drawer is to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot
food; cold food cannot be heated in the warming drawer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature Control Settings
Proofing
Warming Plates
Power “ON” Light
• The knob is used to select the
temperature of the drawer and
is located on the right side of
the control panel. The “1”
setting represents low, “2”
represents medium, and “3”
represents high. The majority
of foods are held at a medium setting to maintain a
serving temperature. However, your own
preference may be for hotter foods.
• To keep several types of food hot for serving, key
the temperature setting for the meat. For example,
to hold rare roast beef, select a lower setting,
cover the other foods that otherwise would be
kept at a higher setting.
• Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air
to escape and the food to cool. The drawer should
not be opened unless adding or removing food.
• Yeast dough can be proofed in the warming
drawer. Place the dough in a bowl. Place the bowl
on the low rack in the drawer. Turn the
temperature control to the lowest setting to
facilitate the fermentation time. A towel should be
placed over the dough to minimize surface drying.
The dough should remain in the warming drawer
until it has doubled in size and a slight depression
remains when the surface is touched gently with a
finger.
• To warm serving bowls and plates, place
temperature control on a low setting. Place the
empty dishes on the low 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.
• The power “ON” light is located below the
temperature control knob. It turns on when the
control knob is set and cycles on and off with the
heating element as temperature is maintained.
CAUTION
DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover foods placed
in the drawer, nor to keep foods warm that are
wrapped or placed in plastic containers for
heating.
Plastics can melt onto the drawer if they are in
direct contact. If melted onto the drawer, they can
be very difficult to remove.

Cleaning and Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts
longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Cooking equipment is no exception. Your warming
drawer must be kept clean and maintained
properly. Make sure all controls are in the “OFF”
position.
1. Allow warming drawer to cool completely.
2. It is important to keep the slide rails clear and
free from debris. Periodic cleaning of slide rails
and other adjoining parts is necessary to assure
smooth drawer operation.
3. If needed, the warming drawer pan support can
be removed for cleaning. Pull the warming
drawer out until fully extended. Slide finger along
right and left side rail until you reach hand
latches (located at the front of rails). Pull up on
both right and left latches.
Pull drawer support completely out.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO
THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull
the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm
water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly
onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped
regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each
cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for
that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO
NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or
powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to
remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot
towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or
nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife,
spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless
steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain
on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will
permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any
spills immediately.
