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 15 amp minimum (GFI) 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 moisture protected 2x4 and needs to be installed to
hold the anti-tip mounting clips and support the weight of Warming Drawer, which is 90 lbs. If moisture
protected 2x4 is used, a min. 3” diameter hole through the wood needs to be provided for water drainage. Hole
location must correspond with drain in bottom of unit.
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 05.
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 the AC outlet. See figure 06.
STEP 4
Fasten the front face to the cabinet by passing the screws through the holes of the front face of the warming
drawer to finish the installation. See figure 07.
NOTE: The bottom support made of moisture protected 2x4 runners or other moisture protected
construction must be capable of supporting the weight of the warming drawer. A drain hole MUST
be provided for drainage.

USE & CARE INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL GUIDE
The Warming Drawer is designed to keep previously cooked foods at a
safe, warm temperature, for extended periods of time, when operated
correctly. It is not designed to cook or reheat food. The Warming
Drawer should be pre-heated on HIGH according to the chart below
prior to inserting the food to be warmed. Food may be kept up to
two hours in the warming drawer. Failure to pre-heat could result in
unsafe food temperatures, which could accelerate the formation of
bacteria in the food being kept warm. The dial on the top right
corner of the unit is the on/off and temperature control adjustment.
After preheat, when the dial is turned clockwise from the OFF
position to the LOW position, the unit will maintain a temperature of
approximately 175°F. By rotating the dial clockwise to the HIGH
position, the drawer will reach a temperature of approximately 230°F.
TO USE: TURN THE THERMOSTAT DIAL TO A TEMPERATURE SETTING:
HIGH MEDIUM LOW
■ If you will be using the tray, preheat it while preheating the warming drawer.
■ Preheat any empty serving dishes to be used, while preheating the drawer.
Fig. 08
■ Add cooked, hot food in its cooking container or heat-safe container.
■ Aluminum foil may be used to cover food containers.
CAUTION
Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap. They can melt if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil and
if these items melt, they may adhere to the drawer and may be unremovable. Use only heat-safe dishes.
PREHEAT TIME AND TEMPERATURE SELECTOR:
■ Always preheat on HIGH, then turn the knob to the desired setting.
LOW..............Preheat on HIGH 10 min. 140°-170°
MEDIUM .... Preheat on HIGH 15 min. 170°-200°
HIGH............Preheat on HIGH 20 min. 200°-230°
■ To keep several different foods hot together, set the temperature to the food needing the highest setting. Place
items needing highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and food needing less heat on the tray.

USE & CARE INFORMATION
CLEANING THE WARMING DRAWER
■ Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance, particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer face. All parts
of the drawer can be cleaned with a hot soapy damp cloth, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy pile cloth.
Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.
■ Be sure the Warming Drawer is 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.
■ Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read their directions.
Try on a small area first.
■ To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines. The cleaner
will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
■ Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic or non-metal soap pads for cleaning or scouring, as
recommended in this section. (Caution: some soap pads can scratch).
■ Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.
■ Remove food particles after every use.
1. DRAWER: Clean the drawer with warm soapy damp sponge or cloth.
2. DRAWER FRONT: Shine with stainless steel cleaner in direction of grain.
3. GASKET: Clean with warm soapy damp sponge (care should be taken when cleaning the gasket because silicon is
tough until it is cut, at which time it will tear very easily).
4. KNOB: The on/off/ temperature knob may be removed to be cleaned. See Figure 01. Be aware that the pull off
force will decrease and a loose knob could become a choking hazard for small children.
5. LIGHT: Clean with damp cloth or sponge.
6. DRAWER CAVITY: Same as drawer above.
7. ELEMENT: Care should be taken when cleaning the heating element. Only clean the element when the unit is
cool. Use warm soapy water on a damp cloth.
8. STAINLESS STEEL TRAY: Can be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water at the sink.

USE & CARE INFORMATION
REMOVING THE DRAWER
Be sure the drawer is cool and no food items or trays are in the drawer. Never attempt to remove the drawer
while the unit is on or warm.
1. To remove the drawer, first remove plates, trays, etc., from the drawer.
2. Pull the drawer open towards you all the way until it reaches the stop position.
3. Lift up on the handle while pulling the drawer towards you, the drawer will ride on the back skids of the slides
and can be lifted to fully remove (the catch should be in the open position see Figures 09 & 10).
4. Be careful not to touch the catch located at the center bottom back of the drawer (see Figure 11). This catch is
spring loaded and could cause serious injury if a finger or other part of the body comes in contact and the catch
snaps closed. If the catch does snap closed, use pliers to pull the catch out to the open position.
(see Figure 12).
