Important Safety Instructions

Save these instructions
Read all instructions carefully before using your warming drawer to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni­cian in accordance with the installation instructions provided with the warming drawer.
The warming drawer is for keeping hot food hot. Never use it to warm or heat a room.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom­mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified techni­cian.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above the drawer. If a child should climb onto the drawer to reach these items, s/he could be seriously injured.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot heating element located under the drawer.
CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:
1) DO NOT use the warming drawer to heat cold food (exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates).
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends hold­ing hot food at 140°F or warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Storage - Do not store flammable materials in the drawer.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open door a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not place food in unopened containers in the drawer. Pressure could build up and cause container to burst.
Do not touch the interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the drawer could become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
CAUTION: This unit is approved for general residential kitchen use only. It is not approved for outdoor use.
Note: The appliance referred to throughout this manual is manufactured by BSH Home Appliances Corporation.

Turn the knob to the desired temperature:
Table 1: Temperature Dial Settings
Setting Temperature
LO (Low) 140-160° F MED (Medium) 161-190° F HI (High) 191-220° F
See the Temperature and Moisture Selection Chart on page 5 for recommended settings.

Moisture Control Knob The moisture control dial regulates the amount of moisture in the drawer. It is

located above the handle inside the drawer. Slide the knob from side to side to adjust the moisture retention level.
On the “MIOIST” setting, the drawer retains moisture. It is well suited to moist, soft foods such as pancakes, casseroles and vegetables. Condensation may collect around the inside edges of the drawer on this setting.
On the “DRY” setting, the drawer allows the moisture to escape. It is well suited to dry, crisp foods such as pie crusts, breads and fried foods. Condensation may col­lect on surfaces above the warming drawer on this setting.
The control knob can also be set in between “MOIST” and “DRY” for foods such as baked potatoes and pizza.
See the Temperature and Moisture Selection Chart on page 5 for recommended settings.

Signal Light The red signal light turns on when the drawer is in use. It is located on the right

front panel.
