READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE PRECAUTIONS
lRead this Installation and Operation Guide thoroughly before installation. This will help to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
lRemove all packaging materials from your appliance.
lInstall according to instructions. See page 4-5 to insure proper installation and servicing.
lBe sure to have a qualified service technician install and ground this appliance.
lPlug into rated outlet: 120 Volts AC, 5 amp minimum circuit requirement.
PREHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Warming Drawer is designed to keep cooked foods warm for extended periods of time. The
drawer must be pre-heated before use on high (see Operation instructions). If the warming drawer isn’t
pre-heated, the internal temperature of the food being warmed could fall below the minimum safe
level and bacteria could develop. Always preheat the drawer according to the instructions described
in the warming drawer operation instruction section.
lChildren should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use.
They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an
appliance.
lChildren in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round door handle and
may grab and open the warming drawer. This can result in injury from the door being
pulled open on a child, or severe burns if it is in use and hot.
WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children in, above or around any appliance.
Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these
items.
Be certain to use only dry pot holders: Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
lNever store anything in the warming drawer. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items
may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
lDo not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the drawer.
Some fabrics are quite flammable and could catch on fire.
lFor safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the
warming drawer door.
lFor personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and
should not be worn while using this appliance.
lDo not use aluminum foil to line any part of the warming drawer. Using a foil liner could result
in a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent
heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the
performance of the warming drawer parts.
WARNING:
This appliance is designed for warming of food. Based on safety considerations, never
use the warming drawer to warm or heat a room.
Safety Practices and Precautions
2

lAs with any cooking or heating appliance, never leave the warming drawer unattended when
warming food, this could be a fire hazard.
lOnly certain types of glass, heat proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or glazes are
suitable for use in this warming drawer. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break
with sudden temperature changes.
lNever heat unopened containers, a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
lGrease is flammable, avoid letting grease deposits collect in the warming drawer, clean up
spillage.
lDO NOT use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the warming drawer, then smother the fire with
baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
lWhen opening the drawer while keeping sauces warm, tomato sauce, etc., the drawer must be
opened slowly to avoid spillage.
lUse care when opening a hot warming drawer; to avoid severe burns,open slowly, allow the
hot air or steam to escape before reaching in to remove or replace any foods.
lDo not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified Service Technician. Service
Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.
lWhen using the warming drawer: DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES or the exterior
area immediately surrounding the door until it has had sufficient time to cool to avoid burn
injuries.
lClean the warming drawer with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
lBe sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
lDo not touch the heating element or interior surfaces of the warming drawer, even if they
appear dark in color. They may still be hot enough to cause burn injury, allow sufficient time to
cool.
lDo not allow flammable materials which may ignite to come in contact with the hot heating
element or the interior surface of the warming drawer until the unit has had a sufficient time to
cool.

Operational Guide
The Warming Drawer is designed to keep previously cooked foods at a safe, warm temperature, for
extended periods of time, when operated correctly. It is not designed to cook or reheat food. The
Warming Drawer should be pre-heated according to the chart below prior to inserting the food to be
warmed. Food may be kept up to two hours in the warming drawer. Failure to pre-heat could result in
unsafe food temperatures, which could accelerate the formation of bacteria in the food being kept warm.
The dial on the bottom of the unit is the temperature control adjustment. When the
dial is turned clockwise from the off position to the 104°F position, the unit will main-
tain a temperature of approximately 104°F.
This is the Proof position.
By rotating the dial clockwise to the 248°F position, the drawer will reach a tempera-
ture of approximately 248°F.
Warming Drawer Use: Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature setting;
High(212-248ºF) Medium(176-212ºF) Low(140-176ºF) Proofing(104º)
lIf you will be using the tray, preheat it while preheating the warming drawer.
lPreheat any empty serving dishes to be used, while preheating the drawer.
lAdd cooked, hot food in its cooking container or heat-safe container.
lAluminum foil may be used to cover food containers.
CAUTION
Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap. They can melt if in direct contact with the
drawer or a hot utensil and if these items melt, they may adhere to the drawer and may be
unremovable. Use only heat-safe dishes.
PREHEAT TIME AND TEMPERATURE SELECTOR:
Proofing.....Do not preheat 104°F
Low..............Preheat 10 min. 140°-176°
Medium ....Preheat 15 min. 176°-212°
High............Preheat 20 min. 212°-248°
lAlways preheat on high, then turn the knob to the desired setting.
lTo keep several different foods hot together, set the temperature to the food needing the highest set-
ting. Place items needing highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and food needing less heat on the
tray.
PROOFING YEAST DOUGH
Place dough in a greased jelly roll or half sheet pan or oiled bowl, no taller than five inches in
height. Turn dough over to grease all areas of the dough, cover with a damp clean cloth. Place in
the center of warming drawer and turn the control knob to 140ºF and immediately back to 104ºF.
Check at 45 minutes to one hour. Dough should double in size. Shape dough, place in baking
pan, and put in warming drawer for second rising, about 30 to 45 minutes; add extra time if
needed.
