General Safety Precautions

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:

WARNING

• 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 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.

• 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.

• 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 avoid the possibility of fire or burns, do not allow
clothing, potholders, towels or rags to come into
contact with any part of the warming drawer during
and immediately after use. Do not wear loose or
hanging apparel while using the appliance.

WARNING

• Clean the warming drawer thoroughly before
operating it for the first time.

• 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.

• If materials inside the warming drawer should ignite,
keep the drawer closed and shut off the power at the
circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

• Exercise caution when opening the warming drawer.
Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching
into the warming drawer.

• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
cookware from the warming drawer. Wet pot holders
can cause steam burns.

• Do not put items like whole eggs, sealed containers
or closed glass jars in the drawer. They may explode
when heated, causing injury.

those parts listed, in the manner specified.

• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or abrasive/caustic
cleaners or detergents on this appliance. They may
permanently damage the finishes. Do not use aerosol
cleaners, because they may be flammable or cause
corrosion of metal parts.

• 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
