IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■ Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■ Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your warming drawer unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
■ Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
■ Before performing any service, unplug
or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
■ Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the drawer. They could damage the warming drawer, or cause severe personal injury.
■ Be sure the warming drawer is securely
installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure.
■ Never leave the drawer open when you
are not watching the warming drawer.
■ Always keep combustible wall covering,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your warming drawer.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from your warming drawer.
■ Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the warming drawer.
■ Do not place more than 50 pounds into
the drawer.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.

The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
■ Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
■
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets above the warming drawer; children climbing on the drawer to reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or near the warming drawer.
■ Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
■ Flame in the warming drawer can be
smothered by closing the drawer or using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ Do not touch the heating element or
the interior surface of the warming drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the
warming drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
■ Keep the vent unobstructed.
■ Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not use the warming drawer for a
storage area. Items stored in the warming drawer can ignite.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use.
■ Clean only parts listed in the Care and
cleaning of the warming drawer section.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the
drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
■ Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn while using this appliance.

Using the warming drawer. ge.com
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than proofing yeast dough, crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Control Knob

The warming drawer controls are hidden with the drawer shut. Open the drawer. The controls are on the right side of the front frame.
To use the warming drawer, press the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Slide the moisture selector control to the open or closed setting. (See the Moisture
Selector section.)
Turn the control knob to the desired setting.
PROOF . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75–95°F
LOW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 140–160°F
MED . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 160–195°F
HIGH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 195–230°F

ON Signal Light

The ON signal light is located below the ON/OFF switch and glows when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. It stays on until the ON/OFF switch is moved to the OFF position.
The ON signal light is visible through the light viewer in the drawer front panel when the drawer is closed. This is a reminder that the heat is on.
Additional Pans
An accessory pan kit JXPN2 is available from GE at extra cost.
Two pans with lids (4” deep)
■ One large pan (14 quarts)
■ One medium pan (6 quarts)

Moisture Selector

The moisture selector is located on the inside front of the drawer.
To keep foods moist, slide the moisture selector control away from the control knob. This closes the vent and seals the moisture inside the drawer. With the vent closed hot foods stay moist and soft.
In this setting condensation may occur around the inside edge of the drawer.
To keep foods crisp, slide the moisture selector control to the right towards the control knob. This opens the vents and allows the moisture to escape.
With the vents open, it is normal for moisture to collect on surfaces above the warming drawer.

To Warm Serving Bowl and Plates
To warm serving bowls and plates set the control on LOW.
■ Use only heat-safe dishes.
■ Place the empty dishes on the rack
to raise them off the bottom of the drawer. If you want hotter dishes or want to heat fine china, please check with the manufacturer of the dishes for their maximum heat tolerance.
■ Preheat empty serving dish while
preheating the drawer.
■ When holding hot, cooked foods and
warming empty serving dishes at the same time, place the serving dishes on the high rack position and the food on the bottom of the drawer.
CAUTION: Dishes may be
hot. Use pot holders or mitts when removing hot dishes.
When using the warming drawer…
Do not line the warming drawer with aluminum foil.
■
Allow time for the drawer to be preheated:
LOW 8 minutes MED 15 minutes HIGH 20 minutes
NOTE: It is not necessary to preheat the drawer
for proofing.
Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic pans may need higher thermostat setting as compared to food in metal pans.
■ Repeated opening of the drawer allows
the hot air to escape and the food to cool. Allow extra time for temperature inside the drawer to stabilize after adding items.
■ With large loads it may be necessary to
use a higher thermostat setting and cover some of the cooked food items.
■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
■ Aluminum foil may be used to cover
food to prevent it from drying out.
CAUTION:
Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.
■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before
placing containers in warming drawer.

Rack

■ Rack will fit from front to back.
■ Preheat with the rack in place.
■ Using the rack allows for double
stacking of items.
Double stacking items with the rack in position.
