It is important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your
warming drawer, be provided.
Recommended Grounding Method
The warming drawer must be grounded. This warming drawer is
equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle,
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances. If mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have
a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.

WARMING DRAWER USE
Control Panel
Co trol K ob
Push in and turn the control knob to turn on the warming drawer.
The red power indicator light will turn on and remain on while the
warming drawer is in operation.
When finished, turn the control knob to OFF to turn off the
warming drawer. When the warming drawer is turned off, the red
power indicator light will go out and the drawer will begin to cool.
The temperature is controlled by rotating the control knob to the
desired setting. The temperature setting ranges from LO to HI on
the warming drawer control to keep heated foods warm at the
selected temperatures.
Moist-Dry Slide Co trol
The Moist-Dry slide control allows you to open or close the vent
slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in, while the
DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escape from the
drawer.
NOTE: Condensation may form on inner surfaces. This is normal.
To keep foods moist, slide control to the MOIST setting, closing
the vents. Closing the vents will seal the drawer and keep hot
foods soft and moist.
To keep foods crisp, slide control to the DRY setting, opening the
vents. Opening the vents releases moisture from the drawer and
keeps hot foods crisp and dry. See the Warming Drawer
Temperature Chart in the “Setting the Controls” section.
