THIS APPLIANCE.
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.
• ANTI-TIP BRACE REQUIRED
All warming drawers can tip and
injury could result if not properly
installed.
To prevent accidental tipping of the
warming drawer, install it with an antitip brace as described in the Installation Instructions.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including
the following:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 operate the warming drawer if the
decorative front kit has not been installed.
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.
1
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 75 pounds into the
drawer.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
WARNING
Food safety is an important consideration when using a warming oven. The
low setting should not be used if holding
foods for more than 2-3 hours.
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.
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 multipurpose 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.
Do not block vents.
Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
Do not use the warming drawer to warm
towels.
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 section of the warming drawer
guide.
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.
The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food.

THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE
WARMING DRAWER
Do not use to heat cold food other than
proofing yeast dough, crisping crackers,
chips or dry cereal.
CONTROL KNOBS
The warming drawer controls are hidden
with the drawer shut. Open the drawer.
The controls are on the right side of the
front frame.
AUTO-OFF TIMER
To use the warming drawer, rotate the
Auto-Off Timer knob to the selected time
or Continuous On position. If a time is
selected the warming drawer will turn off
after the set interval.
The Continuous On position keeps the
warming drawer on until the timer is rotated to the OFF position.
TEMPERATURE
Turn the control knob to the desired setting.
Approximate
Temperature
PROOF .................................................. 98° F
LOW .................................................... 140° F
MED ...................................................... 170° F
HIGH ....................................................210° F
NOTE: Use the PROOF temperature setting ONLY for proofing yeast dough.
Slide the moisture selector control to the
open or closed setting. (See the Moisture
Selector section.)
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 knobs. 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 knobs. 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.
ON SIGNAL LIGHT
The ON signal light is located above the
timer and glows when the timer is set to a
time or the Continuous On position. It
stays on until the set time interval has
elapsed or the timer is manually rotated to
the OFF position.
RACK
Using the rack allows for double stacking of
items.
• Rack will fit from front to back or from
side to side.

allows the hot air to escape and the
food to cool. Allow extra time for
the temperature inside the drawer
to stabilize after adding items.
• Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a
heat-safe serving dish.
TO WARM SERVING
BOWLS AND PLATES
• To warm serving bowls and plates set the
control on LOW.

• 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.
TO PROOF YEAST
BREAD DOUGH
