To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or

including the following:
WARNING
• Model OWD24, when installed as a towel warmer, must be
installed indoors and have the supplied wire rack installed in
the drawer bottom according to these instructions.
• Do not install or operate a product that is damaged, has a
damaged power cord or plug, or is malfunctioning in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
• Make sure that the appliance has been properly installed
and grounded by a qualified installer according to the
accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer
show you the location of the electrical outlet so that you know
where to disconnect power to the appliance.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the warming drawer
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. All other service should be done by a
qualified technician.
• Use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Make sure the warming drawer is used only by those
individuals who are able to operate it properly.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb
on any part of the appliance, including the drawer. Doing so
may cause tipping, damage, serious injury or death.
• Do not leave children unattended in the area around the
appliance. Do not allow children to operate it, play with the
controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts. Do not
store items of interest to children above the warming drawer.
Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the
appliance.
• A qualified technician must install this built-in appliance.
Proper installation is the customer's responsibility.
• Carefully check the drawer's installation space to ensure
the drawer ia easily accessible and that electrical power
can be provided to the location. Install the warming
drawer in wood cabinets only.
• Plan the installation so all minimum clearances are met/
exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum
clearances unless otherwise noted. Ensure the drawer
can be fully opened without impediment.
• The specified minimum cabinet depth and width must be
provided. The cabinet depth and width must completely
enclose the recessed portion of the drawer.
• Cabinet cutout dimensions must be used as indicated. All
contact surfaces between the appliance and the cabinet
must be solid and level. The drawer-support platform
must be flush with the bottom edge of the cabinet cutout.
• Make certain that you have everything necessary to
ensure a proper installation before proceeding.
• A custom front panel is required for IWD series models
and optional for OWD24.
