Read this manual completely before operating this • appliance.
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.
Do not store or install this appliance outdoors, • unless otherwise noted in these instructions. Do not use this product near water, for example, near sinks, swimming pools or in a wet basement.
If you receive a damaged product, immediately • contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or operate an appliance that has been damaged or dropped.
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.
Before performing any type of service, make sure • that the power plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
Keep the electrical cord away from heated surfaces.•
DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE SURFACES INSIDE • OR OUTSIDE THE WARMING DRAWER DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. 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, pot holders, 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 this appliance.
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.
warning
Exercise caution when opening the 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 warming drawer. They may explode when heated, causing injury.
Do not place more than 50 pounds in the drawer.•
Properly clean and maintain the unit regularly as • instructed in this manual. Clean only those parts listed in this manual, in the manner specified.
Do not use abrasive or 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.
Clean the • appliance thoroughly before operating it for the first time.

Operating Instructions
warning
When the warming drawer is on in continuous mode • (∞), it will remain on until turned off manually. To avoid a fire hazard or burns, exercise caution when operating the unit in continuous mode.
Do not block the humidity vents on the back of the • drawer front and along the left and right sides of the drawer. Excessive heat buildup can occur.
Food safety is an important consideration when • using a warming drawer. In the PROOF and LOW temperature settings, bacteria growth may occur. Use the MED and HIGH settings if holding certain foods for more than two to three hours.
Things to Know Before You Start
Preheating
For best results, preheat your warming drawer for • about 20 minutes before use. If you put hot food into
a cool, conned area, any steam that is present will
condense. If you preheat your warming drawer, there will be less chance of water due to condensation. Preheat times vary depending on the temperature set­ting.
Humidity Control
The warming drawer has two distinct humidity modes. • The “MOIST” setting seals the food’s moisture in the warming chamber, maintaining the water content of the food. The “CRISP” setting allows the moisture to vent out of the sides of the warming drawer, retain- ing the crispness of other food types. The MOIST • CRISP lever opens and closes vents located on the inside of the drawer front.
Do not block the humidity vents any time you operate • your warming drawer.
Operation
The warming drawer is equipped with four temperature settings and a timer that can be set for one, two, three or four hours. The warming drawer can also be set for continuous operation. See the table on the facing page for suggested settings for different foods.
To turn the unit on:
Select the humidity level. Slide the lever located on 1. the back of the drawer face to the desired position. To increase humidity inside the drawer, slide the lever closer to the MOIST symbol. To decrease humidity inside the drawer, slide the lever closer to the CRISP symbol. The lever can also be positioned anywhere between the MOIST and CRISP settings.
Push the 2. ON/OFF key.
Push the key for the desired temperature setting.3.

Warming Serving Containers
To warm plates, and other serving containers:•
Place them carefully into the warming drawer and set • the temperature to PROOF or LOW, depending upon your personal preference. Do not drag plates across the drawer. They may scratch the drawer surface.
Before using any delicate dinnerware in the warm-• ing drawer, determine its maximum recommended usage temperature from the plate manufacturer. It is not necessary to preheat the warming drawer when warming serving dishes.
You can also use plastic wrapping on plates to keep • foods hot and moist.

Care and Cleaning
caution
To prevent permanent damage to the appliance • surfaces, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, • etc.) to remain on the warming drawer’s surfaces. The finish may stain.
Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object • such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the surfaces.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the direction • of the grain.
Control Panel
Clean the control panel with a soft cloth soaked with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Exercise caution to avoid introduction of liquids into the area behind the control panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may permanently
damage the nish or scrap off the letters and graphics.
Moist • Crisp Control
Clean the Moist • Crisp lever with a solution of mild deter- gent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Painted Surfaces
For the front face of warming drawers with a painted
nish, clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot
water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may permanently damage the
nish.
Gasket
The gasket is located around the edge of the drawer opening, below the control panel.
Gently clean the gasket with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. The gasket material is soft, so be careful not to crush or damage it. Damaging the gasket will cause a poor heat seal and result in poor warming drawer performance.
Drawer Slides
The warming drawer has slides positioned on each side of the drawer. They allow the drawer to slide in and out smoothly. Remove the drawer from the slides to make cleaning easy or to access the serial number plate. The drawer slides themselves do not require maintenance.
Removing the Drawer from the
Drawer Handle
Clean the drawer handle with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. It is available from your Dacor dealer. Use it according to the directions on the package.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain.
Appliance
Allow the drawer to cool before attempting to remove it.

remove ngerprints or smears. Dry completely with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
Reinstalling The Drawer
Brass and Chrome Surfaces
