store flammable materials in the drawer.

7. Use only dry potholders. If moist or damp potholders are used,
steam from potholders could cause a steam burn. Do not let
potholders touch hot heating elements located under the drawer. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloths in place of potholders.

8. Wear proper apparel - Loose fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.

9. Use care when opening the drawer. Let hot air or steam escape
(open vent) before removing or replacing food.

10. Do not place food in unopened containers in the drawer. Pressure
could build up and cause the container to burst.

11. Never use the appliance for other than intended use.

12. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

13. Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. It is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance and can damage the interior finish.

14. Keep warming drawer vent ducts unobstructed.

16. Keep drawer closed when not in use.

16. Placement of warming racks - Always place racks in desired position
while drawer is cool. If racks must be moved while warming drawer is
hot, do not let potholder contact heating elements.

17. Do not heat articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.

18. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your warming drawer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

19. Do not use heat on articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials.

20. Do not install or store units where they will be exposed to the
weather.
