warning
Read this manual completely before operating this •

Use this appliance only for its intended use as •
described in this manual. Use it only to warm food
and heat plates and utensils. It is not designed for
commercial, industrial or laboratory use.
Only model OWD24 is approved for use in outdoor •
installations and near water (bathrooms). Do not
use, store or install warming drawer models other
than OWD24 near water, for example, near sinks,
swimming pools or in a wet basement.
Model OWD24, when installed as a towel warmer, •
must have the supplied wire rack installed in the
drawer bottom. Secure the rack with the screw and
clip supplied. See the installation 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 this 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.
Before cleaning or performing any type of service, •
make sure that the power plug is disconnected from
the electrical outlet and that the unit is cool.
Keep the electrical cord away from heated surfaces.•
DO NOT TOUCH ANY HOT SURFACES IN OR ON •
THE WARMING DRAWER DURING OR IMMEDIATELY
AFTER USE. Use the handle instead. After use,
make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time
to cool before touching them. Heating elements may
be hot, even though they are dark in color.
To reduce the risk of fire in the warming drawer, do •
not overcook food. Do not leave it unattended with
paper, plastic or other combustible materials inside.

clothing, pot holders, towels or rags to come into
