USING THE WARMING DRAWER (continued)
DEFROSTINGDEFROSTING
It is possible to defrost foods in the warming drawer, but a low temperature setting of 100 or 125°F
[38 or 52°C] is recommended. Be sure to place your food item on a plate or other receptacle to
catch any melting water.
PROOFINGPROOFING
Proofing of bread dough should be done at a low temperature of 100°F [38°C]. Depending on the
dough type, you may also need added moisture during the prove. Place 1 cup [250 ml] of very hot
water in a small glass measuring cup or small bowl inside the warming drawer next to your dough.
This will add moisture and will keep the dough soft during rising. Place the bowl of dough in the
warming drawer and close.
The warming drawer features a moisture control system of
small vents on the inside face of the drawer. Loosen the
thumbscrew and slide the shutter left or right to adjust
the amount of moisture inside the drawer. Re-tighten the
thumbscrew.
FOOD WARMINGFOOD WARMING
Food recommended for warming: meat, chicken, fish, sauces,
vegetables, side dishes and soups, breads, pizza.
• To avoid spills, do not overfill the dishes.
• Arrange the dishes in the drawer and close it carefully so
that any liquids do not spill.
• It is advisable not to warm food for more than an hour to
prevent it from losing nutritional value.
• If food will be held for more than one hour, it must be held at 140°F [60°C] or above.
Cover moist food and liquids with a lid or heat-resistant cling film. This will prevent the moisture
from escaping, condensation from forming, and moisture settling on the outside of the dishes.
Do not cover roast or fried dishes which need to stay crisp. Keep these dishes hot at high
temperatures.
SLOW COOKINGSLOW COOKING
NOTICE
THIS COOKING METHOD IS LIMITED BY THE MAXIMUM TIME INTERVAL
OF THE CONTROL (4 HOURS). IF YOUR RECIPE REQUIRES A LONGER
TIME, YOU WILL HAVE TO RESTART THE UNIT AGAIN AFTER THE INITIAL
4 HOURS.
Slow cooking is ideal for cooking tender meat which needs to be medium rare or rare. This cooking
method means the meat will always be pink inside. This does not, however, mean that the meat is
raw or undercooked.
• This cooking method not only keeps the juices inside, but it also makes it easy to keep the meat
hot.
• Suitable dishes to use: glass, porcelain or ceramic with a lid.
PROCEDURE
1. Preheat the warming drawer with the chosen dish at 200°F [93°C] for 15 minutes.
2. Heat some butter or oil in a pan. Brown the meat well for the time indicated in the table, then
place it immediately in the preheated pan and cover with the lid.
3. Restart the control between 150/200°F [65/93°C] for the time required to finish the cooking.
(See notice above regarding cooking times longer than 4 hours).

USING THE WARMING DRAWER (continued)
TIPS FOR SLOW COOKINGTIPS FOR SLOW COOKING
• Only use fresh meat in perfect condition.
• Trim off any excess fat.
• The pieces of meat do not necessarily have to be turned.
• Once cooked, the meat can be carved immediately; it does not have to rest.
• Meat that is slow cooked is not as hot as meat cooked in the traditional way, so it is advisable
to put the plates in the warming drawer on the left-hand side for the last 20-30 minutes as well.
• Serve the meat with piping hot sauces.
• If you want to keep the meat hot after cooking, restart the control at a lower temperature
(100-150°F [38-65°C]). Smaller pieces of meat can be kept hot for 45 minutes and larger pieces
for two hours.
APPLICATIONSAPPLICATIONS
Slow cooking is suitable for all tender cuts of beef, pork, veal, lamb, game and poultry. The initial
browning times and the subsequent cooking times depend on the size of the slices of meat.
The browning time is for meat placed in a preheated pan with butter or oil.
DISH EXAMPLE INITIAL BROWNING LEVEL
Small slices of meat
Strips about 1 - 2 minutes 150
Small steaks or medallions about 1 - 2 minutes per side 150
Medium size slices of meat
Tenderloin about 4 - 5 minutes per side 200
Lean roast about 10 - 15 minutes per side 200
Large slices of meat
Tenderloin (from 2 lbs. [900g]) about 6 - 8 minutes per side 200
Roast beef about 8 - 10 minutes per side 200
Vegetables about 30 minutes per side 150
COOKING TIMES: As a guideline, allow 4 to 5 hours for a 200°F [93°C] setting, and 8 to 10 hours
for a 150ºF [65ºC] setting. Smaller quantities of food may require less time, while larger quantities
may require more time.

FRONT SURFACE AND CONTROL PANELFRONT SURFACE AND CONTROL PANEL
The use of a moist cloth is often sufficient when cleaning the appliance. If needed, add a few drops
of liquid detergent in the water. Dry the appliance with a dry cloth. The stainless steel front of
the appliance can be cleaned with products specifically designed for stainless steel. Such products
prevent the formation of dirt on the surface of the drawer. Apply a minimal amount of the product
on a soft cloth and apply it to the surface of the appliance.
Clean the control panel ONLY with a cloth moistened with plain water. The special plastic surface
may discolor or become opaque if you use any harsh cleaners.
If your Hestan appliance has a colored drawer panel, use warm soapy water ONLY. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
DRAWER INTERIORDRAWER INTERIOR
Use a moist cloth to clean the drawer interior. In the event the appliance requires further cleaning
add drops of detergent to the water. Dry the surface with a dry cloth. Make sure to avoid
excessive water entering into the moisture control vents on the inside face of the drawer, or the
heating louvers and fan openings at the rear wall of the drawer cavity. Only use the appliance after
the drawer is completely dry.
The silicone rubber mat can be cleaned with mild detergent and water.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Repairs must only be performed by specialized and qualified personnel. Any repair work not
performed by professional personnel may cause damage to the appliance for which Hestan will not
be liable.
The following problems can be checked by the consumer without the assistance of the Service
Department.
THE DRAWER IS NOT HOT ENOUGHTHE DRAWER IS NOT HOT ENOUGH
Make sure that:
• The appliance is turned on;
• The correct temperature has been set;
• The opening of the ventilation fan is not blocked by plates or other large obstructions;
• The drawer has had sufficient time to heat up.
THE DRAWER DOES NOT GET WARMTHE DRAWER DOES NOT GET WARM
Is it turned on?
Is there a power outage or has the circuit-breaker tripped?
Can you hear the fan running?
• If the fan is running then the heating system should be working. The fan is always running
while the heating element cycles on and off to maintain the proper temperature inside the
drawer. Obviously on low temperatures, it will cycle less frequently.
• In rare circumstances if there is still no heat, the element may have exceeded a safe temperature
and was cut-off automatically. The element will reset itself after a short time. If this problem
persists, contact Hestan Customer Care.
• If the interior light comes on, and the fan still does not run, the fan may be obstructed in some
way. Contact Hestan Customer Care. Do not attempt to dismantle the appliance in any way to
remove obstructions.

Voltage 120 Volts, 60 Hz
Current 7.4 Amperes
Consumption 888 Watts
CHOOSING DRAWER LOCATIONCHOOSING DRAWER LOCATION
Carefully select the location where the warming drawer will be placed.
• It should be located for convenient use in the kitchen. When used outdoors, it is recommended
to apply sealant to the outside of the case where it meets your outdoor cabinet/island structure
to prevent water intrusion. There is also a gasket on the drawer face to prevent water intrusion
at the front of the drawer.
• Make sure that electrical power can be provided to the location selected. If possible, the
receptacle should be accessible after the drawer is installed, so that the drawer can be
unplugged and plugged in after installation. The cord is about 47” [120 cm] long.
PREPARATIONPREPARATION
1. See drawings on the following pages for clearance and cutout dimensions
2. The warming drawer support surface must be a minimum 3/4” [19 mm] thick plywood platform.
It must support 100 lbs. [45 kg]. If the unit is installed outdoors, the platform should be made
of pressure-treated or marine-grade plywood, or other materials resistant to moisture and
insect damage.
3. The platform must be solid, level and flush with the bottom of the cabinet cutout. Additional
interior structures (side walls, etc.) may be needed to support this platform.
4. The cabinet must be secure against tipping when the drawer is opened. If necessary, install
additional bracing at the rear of the cabinet to prevent the cabinet from tipping away from the
wall when the drawer is opened.
5. For best performance results make sure the platform is level before placing the warming
drawer. Use shims under the unit as needed to level it. There is no way to level the warming
drawer after it has been installed.
• If the installation is not level, the door may slide open or not seal tightly, allowing heat to
escape, or water to enter.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when moving or installing the drawer. It is very
heavy.

NOTE: The unit is heavy and requires at least two people or proper equipment to move. Verify
there is room to run the power cord before placing the drawer without pinching it.
1. As shown on the previous page, the electrical outlet may be located directly behind the unit, or
in a nearby adjacent cabinet opening. If the plug will not be accessible after placing the unit,
turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
2. Run the cord through to the outlet.
3. Position the drawer so that it is directly centered and slide the warming drawer assembly into
the cutout until it is flush with cabinet face.
4. Securely fasten the drawer mounting frame to the cabinet in all four corners using the wood
screws provided.
CAUTION
Failure to secure the warming drawer could result in the drawer moving
or tipping during use and causing damage to the drawer or cabinets or
personal injury.
5. Turn the power back on or plug in the unit.
6. Test operation of the unit (see page 9). Observe that the interior light comes on. Operate the
unit for approximately 5 minutes, then check for warmth.
7. After verifying that the drawer is warming up, turn the unit OFF.
• Make sure that the customer knows how to disconnect the power to the warming drawer at
the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
