PREHEATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Warming Drawer is designed to keep cooked foods warm for extended periods of time. The drawer must
be pre-heated before use on high (see Use and Care Guide). 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
