SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or unit body
in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact
Chefman® Customer Support for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman® may
cause injuries.
8. Do NOT use outdoors
9. Do NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do NOT use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Do NOT cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock.
15. Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it
into the outlet. This could result in injury or electrical shock.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

California Proposition 65:
(Applicable for California Residents only)
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Do not place the appliance on a
stovetop or any other heatable surface,
even if stovetop is not on.
Doing so is a fire hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

How to Use the Warming Tray
Before First Use
1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts.
2. Read and remove all stickers on the unit except for the rating label.
3. Wipe the surface with a damp towel to remove any packaging dust.
(Never immerse the warming tray, its cord, or plug in water or any
other liquid.)
Warming Instructions
1. Place the tray on a hard, flat, heat-resistant surface near an outlet.
Ensure it is at least 8 inches away from all objects and sources of liquid.
WARNING: Do not place the warming tray on butcher block, wood,
recycled material, bamboo, or plastic, as they are not heat resistant.
Heat-resistant surfaces include granite, stainless steel, quartz, marble,
glass, soapstone, travertine, and limestone.
2. Plug in the tray. Use the temperature control knob to select a heat level,
up to the MAX marking. Once a temperature is selected, the HOT indicator
light will illuminate. (NOTE: The HOT light does not indicate that the surface
has fully come to temperature, only that the unit is heating.) WARNING:
Never cover or wrap the tray in foil, plastic, cloth, or any other material.
Doing so blocks airflow, which can cause a fire and can cause the glass
top to shatter.
3. Once the tray is warm, place hot or warm food in heat-resistant
containers (such as a pot, pan, or tempered glass dish) on the top. Do
not place plastic containers on the surface. CAUTION: The surface of the
tray is HOT. Do not touch the surface with bare hands. Use potholders to
handle hot dishes and pans.
4. Never move the tray when it is in use or items are on top of it.
5. When finished using the tray, turn the temperature control knob to
OFF, then unplug the tray from the power outlet. Let cool completely
before cleaning.

Tips & Troubleshooting
• The warming tray is not a cooking appliance. It is designed to keep
already-cooked food warm. It is NOT designed to cook or defrost food.
• Only use containers that are heat resistant on the warming tray. Plastic
containers or other materials that are not heat resistant may melt and
cause damage to the tray and run a risk of burning or fire.
• Never place any non-heat-resistant items, such as plastic utensils, on or
near the tray.
• To retain both heat and moisture, consider covering any foods kept on
the tray.
• Use the tray for keeping hot drinks like mulled wine warm during serving.
• Be sure to follow proper food-safety guidelines for keeping and serving
warm foods.
• Ceramic, stoneware, and cast-iron cookware may have unfinished, rough
bases that can scratch the surface. Avoid using these on the tray, or use
with care.
• Check that the bottoms of dishes and pans are clean before placing on
the tray; if dirty, they can leave marks on the glass.

Keep It Clean
The glass surface of the warming tray is easy to keep clean.
1. Before cleaning, turn off the unit, unplug it from the power outlet, and let it
cool completely.
2. When it is completely cool, clean the warming tray with a mild detergent
and a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads,
which can scratch.
3. Never immerse the tray, its cord, or its plug in water or any other liquids.
Do not allow water to spill or seep into the tray’s frame, or allow the
heating elements to come into contact with water.
4. Dry completely with a soft cloth. Store in a cool, dry place.
