Drawer Features

Proofing

Yeast dough can be proofed in the warming drawer.
Place the dough in a bowl. Place the bowl on the low
rack in the drawer. Turn the temperature control to
the lowest setting to facilitate the fermentation time.
A towel should be placed over the dough to minimize
surface drying. The dough should remain in the
warming drawer until it has doubled in size and a
slight depression remains when the surface is touched
gently with a finger.

Warming Plates

To warm serving bowls and plates, place temperature
control on a low setting. Place the empty dishes on
the low 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.

Power “ON” Light

The power “ON” light is located below the
temperature control knob on D3 models. It turns on
when the control knob is set and cycles on and off
with the heating element as temperature is
maintained.

Before Using Drawer

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before using, clean the drawer
thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some
burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this
is normal.

Drawer Functions

Your warming drawer works in two ways:

1. Seals moisture within the drawer to keep food
moist.

2. Allows moisture to escape and keep food crisp.

The purpose of the warming drawer is to keep hot,
cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food; cold food cannot be heated in the
warming drawer.

Warming Element

Turn the control knob clockwise to the desired setting.
The element will cycle on and off to maintain the desired
heat setting. When finished turn the control to “OFF.”

Note: The majority of foods are held at a medium
setting to maintain a serving temperature.

To use Dry Heat Function

1. Place the food or cookware with food in the empty
drawer pan.

2. Turn the control knob to the desired heat setting
and close the drawer.

Use dry heat when warming dishes and keeping foods
crispy such as pies, breads and fried foods.

Drawer Indicator Light

The drawer indicator light is located on the front
panel of the drawer. The drawer indicator light will
glow blue when the drawer element is heated. The
light will cycle on and off as the temperature is
maintained.

Optional Accessories for Dry Heat

Pans/Lids - This warming drawer is designed to
accommodate standard size pan inserts. The optional
pan/lid set consists of:

1) one 4” D. x 12” L. x 10½” W. pan/lid

2) two 4” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids

3) two 2½” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids

Temperature Control
Settings

The knob is used to select the
temperature of the drawer
and is located on the right
side of the control panel. The
“1” setting represents low,
“2” represents medium, and
“3” represents high. The
majority of foods are held at a
medium setting to maintain a serving temperature.
However, your own preference may be for hotter foods.

To keep several types of food hot for serving, key the
temperature setting for the meat. For example, to
hold rare roast beef, select a lower setting, cover the
other foods that otherwise would be kept at a higher
setting.

Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to
escape and the food to cool. The drawer should not
be opened unless adding or removing food.

Suggested Heat Settings

The information below is given as a guide only. You
may need to vary the heat settings to suit your
personal requirements.

Warnings

Warning and Important Safety Instructions
appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised
when installing, maintaining, or operating the
appliance.

ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or

conditions you do not understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

Read and follow all instructions before using this
appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric

shock, personal injury or damage to the appliance as
a result of improper usage of the appliance. Use
appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this guide.

To ensure proper and safe operation:

Appliance must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to adjust,
repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance
unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified
servicer.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.

• Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and materials.

• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE
when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an
appliance.

• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items in the
drawer as they may melt or soften if left too close
to a heating element.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite
and metallic items may become hot and cause
burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.

About your Appliance

• DO NOT touch the heating elements or interior
surface of the drawer while it is in use. Use handles
or knobs.

• DO NOT store flammable materials in drawer.

Heating Elements

• 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.

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

• DO NOT place food in unopened containers in the
drawer. Pressure could build up and cause the
container to burst.

• NEVER use the appliance for other than intended
use.

• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

• 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.

• Always place warming racks in desired position
while drawer is cool.

• Keep drawer closed when not in use.

• 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.

• DO NOT install or store indoor models where they
will be exposed to the weather.

DANGER

Hazards or unsafe practices which WILL result

in severe personal injury or death

WARNING

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD

result in severe personal injury or death

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD

result in minor personal injury.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you

how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what

can happen if the instructions are not followed.

CAUTION

DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover foods placed in

the drawer, nor to keep foods warm that are
wrapped or placed in plastic containers for heating.
Plastics can melt onto the drawer if they are in direct
contact. If melted onto the drawer, they can be very
difficult to remove.

CAUTION

DO NOT use any cleaning agent with chlorine or

chlorine compounds on stainless steel finish.
Chlorine and chlorine compounds are corrosive to
stainless steel.

WARNING

To avoid risk of property damage,
personal injury or death; follow
information in this manual exactly to

prevent a fire or explosion. DO NOT
store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.

WARNING

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the drawer.

WARNING

To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow
defrosted food to remain in the drawer for more
than two hours.

WARNING

BURN OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD

Make sure all controls are OFF and
drawer is COOL before cleaning. Failure
to do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.

WARNING

If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
drawer or cover an entire rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through
the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
