ABOUT UNPACKING AND EXAMINING
YOUR WARMING DRAWER
Remove all packing materials from inside the Warming1
Drawer.
Remove the feature sticker, if there is one. Check the2
drawer for any damage, such as misaligned or bent drawer,
damaged drawer seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose
drawer guides and dents inside the cavity or on the front
side of the drawer. If there is any damage, do not operate
the Warming Drawer and contact your dealer or a SHARP
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE WARMING
DRAWER
Children below the age of 7 should use the Warming Drawer
only with a supervising person very near to them. For children
between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should
be in the same room. The child must be able to reach the
Warming Drawer comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
Warming Drawer.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use dry
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to understand that the Warming Drawer is
not a toy.
FOOD SAFETY
The purpose of the Warming Drawer is to hold hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold
food cannot be heated or cooked in the Warming Drawer.
When warming foods in oven safe glass and/or glass ceramic
container, a higher temperature setting may be needed
compared to heating in metal containers
Opening the drawer during use and/or adding more items
will allow the hot air to escape and may require more time
for the temperature in the drawer to stabilize.
Be sure to maintain safe food temperature. The USDA recom-
mends holding hot food at 140˚Forwarmer.
To keep several foods hot together, set the temperature
according to the food needing the highest setting. Place items
needing highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and
food needing less heat on the tray.

CLEANING AND CARE
EXTERIOR
Unless your model has stainless steel exterior, the outside
surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with
mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not
use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Be sure power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning
any part of the Warming Drawer.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE (KB-6100NS)
The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and
polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There is
also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and
shining the stainless exterior of the drawer. We recommend
that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully
used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on
it. Follow package directions carefully.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water
only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of
chemical cleaners. Be sure power is off before and after
cleaning.
INTERIOR
To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer sealing
sur faces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRA-
SIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS.
For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp
cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.
