READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE PRECAUTIONS
• Read this Installation Guide thoroughly before installation. This will help to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Remove all packaging materials from your appliance.
• Install according to instructions. See page 5-9 to insure proper installation and servicing.
• Be sure to have a qualified service technician install and ground this appliance.
• Plug into rated outlet: 120 Volts AC, 5 amp minimum circuit requirement.
PREHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Warming Drawer is designed to keep foods at a safe temperature (above 1400) when used
according to the operating instructions. The drawer must be pre-heated for at least 1/2 hour on the
highest setting. If the warming drawer isn’t pre-heated, the internal temperature of the food being
warmed could fall below the minimum safe level and bacteria could develop. Always preheat the
drawer according to the instructions described in the warming drawer Use and Care Guide.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
• Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round door handle and may grab
and open the warming drawer. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child,
or severe burns if it is in use and hot.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in, above or around any appliance. Children
could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items.
Be certain to use only dry pot holders: Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
• Never store anything in the warming drawer. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may
melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
• Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the drawer. Some
fabrics are quite flammable and could catch on fire.
• For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the warming
drawer door.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be
worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn
while using this appliance.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the warming drawer. Using a foil liner could result in a
fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the performance of the
warming drawer parts.
WARNING: This appliance is designed for warming food. Based on safety considerations, never use
the warming drawer to warm or heat a room.
Safety Practices & Precautions
4
• As with any cooking or heating appliance, never leave the warming drawer unattended when warming
food, this could be a fire hazard.
• Only certain types of glass, heat proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or glazes are suitable for
use in this warming drawer. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with sudden
temperature changes.
• Never heat unopened containers, a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
• 120 volt AC, 5 amp minimum circuit required.
• Grease is flammable, avoid letting grease deposits collect in the warming drawer, clean up spillage.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the warming drawer, then smother the fire with
baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• When opening the drawer while warming liquids, the drawer must be opened slowly to avoid spillage.
• Use care when opening a hot warming drawer; to avoid severe burns, open slowly, allow the hot air
or steam to escape before reaching in to remove or replace any foods.
• Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified Service Technician. Service Technicians
must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.
• When using the warming drawer: DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES or the exterior
area immediately surrounding the door until it has had sufficient time to cool to avoid burn injuries.
• Clean the warming drawer with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
• Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
• Do not touch the heating element or interior surfaces of the warming drawer, even if they appear
dark in color. They may still be hot enough to cause burn injury, allow sufficient time to cool.
• Do not allow flammable materials which may ignite to come in contact with the hot heating element
or the interior surface of the warming drawer until the unit has had a sufficient time to cool.

MOUNTING INSTALLATION
The lower rear corners of the cabinet need to provide proper support to the back of the Warming
Drawer and the anti-tip mounting clips. A 120 volt AC outlet should be located no further than
36 inches from the back center of the Warming Drawer. Illustrations suggest one possible bottom support, but the consumer is not limited to this idea for mounting configuration.
STEP 1
The bottom rear section of the cabinet should be made of solid plywood or 2x4 and needs to be
installed to hold the anti-tip mounting clips and support the weight of Warming Drawer, which is
90 lbs.
STEP 2
Use the screws provided to attach the mounting clips which must be installed for anti-tip safety to the
bottom support at the back. See placement dimensions in figure below.
STEP 3
The Warming Drawer has slots on the back side where it will slide onto the anti-tip mounting clips.
Plug power cord into AC outlet. See page 7.
STEP 4
Screw the front face screw into the center hole of the front face of the warming drawer to finish the
installation. See page 7.
NOTE: Bottom support made of plywood or other solid wood construction capable of supporting the
weight of the warming drawer.
