Safety Practices And Precautions

READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE PRECAUTIONS

• Read this Use and Care Manual thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

• Remove all packaging materials from your appliance. If the installer has not set up your appliance, do
it now.

• Install according to instructions. To insure proper installation and servicing, follow the installation
guide which came with this appliance.

• 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 section of this manual.

• 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.
