IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical  
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the  
warming drawer, follow basic precautions, including  
the following:  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up  
of pressure may cause container to burst and result  
in injury.  
Proper Installation – Be sure the warming drawer is  
properly installed and grounded by a qualified  
technician.  
Never Use the Warming Drawer for Warming or  
Heating the Room.  
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not  
be left alone or unattended in area where warming  
drawer is in use. They should never be allowed to sit  
or stand on any part of the warming drawer.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging  
garments should never be worn while using the  
warming drawer.  
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of  
the warming drawer unless specifically recommended  
in the manual. All other servicing should be referred  
to a qualified technician.  
Placement of Warming Drawer Racks – Always place  
warming drawer racks in desired location while  
warming drawer is cool. If rack must be moved while  
warming drawer is hot, do not let potholder contact  
hot heating element in warming drawer.  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR  
INTERIOR SURFACES OF WARMING DRAWER –  
Heating elements may be hot even though they are  
dark in color. Interior surfaces of a warming drawer  
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after  
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces  
of warming drawer until they have had sufficient time  
to cool. Other surfaces of the warming drawer may  
become hot enough to cause burns – among these  
surfaces are warming drawer vent openings and  
surfaces near these openings and warming drawer  
doors.  
Storage in Warming Drawer – Flammable materials  
should not be stored in a warming drawer.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or  
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not  
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

WARNING  
Food Poisoning Hazard  
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before  
or after cooking.  
Doing so can result in food poisoning or  
sickness.  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
Power “ON” switch  
Press the Power ON” switch to turn the unit on.  
Power “ON” Indicator light  
Do not use an extension cord.  
The Indicator light is located on the right side of the Timer  
Override switch. Once the power is turned on, the red  
indicator light will illuminate. When the unit is turned off  
automatically or manually, the Indicator light will go out  
and the drawer will begin to cool.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in  
death, fire, or electrical shock.  
It is important to make sure you have the proper electrical  
connection:  
Temperature control knob  
The temperature is controlled by rotating the control knob  
to the desired setting. The temperature ranges from  
approximately 90º F (Lo) to 225º F (Hi).  
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 amperes electrical  
supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National  
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is  
required.  
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only  
your warming drawer, be provided.  
Timer  
The Warming Drawer has an automatic 4 hour timer. After  
4 hours, the unit will shut off. Although the automatic timer  
is set for a 4 hour period, do not leave any food items in  
the Warming Drawer for more than one hour. Bacterial  
growth may occur.  
Recommended grounding method  
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded.  
This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord  
having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible  
shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating,  
3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in  
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local  
codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not  
available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer  
to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle  
installed by a qualified electrician.  
NOTE: The Timer can be turned off using the Timer  
Override switch.

High position  
lets you stack items in the drawer.  
Timer Override switch  
The Timer Override switch allows you to run the unit past 4  
hours, until it is turned off manually with the Power switch.  
It is recommended that the switch be left in the OFF  
position, unless longer warming times are required. When  
the Override switch is in the ON position, the light on the  
switch will illuminate to notify that the Timer has been  
bypassed.  
IMPORTANT: Although the Timer can be bypassed by  
using the Timer Override switch, never allow food items to  
remain in the Warming Drawer longer than one hour.  
Bacterial growth may occur.  
To stack items:  
Rack will fit from front to back or side to side.  
Moist-Dry slide.  
NOTE: When placing front to back, drawer must be  
fully open.  
It may be necessary to cover some foods and use a  
higher temperature setting with larger loads.  
MOIST  
DRY  
To warm both cooked foods and empty serving dishes  
at the same time, place the serving dishes on the  
drawer bottom during preheat and the food on the high  
rack position after preheat.  
The Moist-Dry slide allows you to open or close the vent  
slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds the moisture in.  
The DRY setting allows steam/moisture to escape from the  
drawer.  
Foods contained in heat-safe glass or glass ceramic  
utensils may require a higher temperature setting than  
food contained in metal utensils.  
Extra time should be allotted for the drawer  
temperature to stabilize, when adding items or  
checking food.  
To keep foods moist, put slide on MOIST, closing  
vents. Closing the vents seals the drawer, keeping hot  
food soft and moist.  
NOTE: Condensation may form on inner surfaces.  
Pans  
The pans provided can withstand oven temperatures  
and are approved for oven cooking.  
To keep foods crisp, put slide on DRY, opening vents.  
With the vents open the moisture is released from the  
drawer, keeping hot food crisp.  
If not cooking in pan, warm pans during preheat time.  
Food temperature will fall below recommended levels if  
pan is not warm.  
Positioning Racks and Pans  
Ensure pan support is properly installed in locator  
notch before inserting pans.  
Dual level rack  
30" shown (27" not shown)

further browning in drawer.  
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Drawer Slides  
The use of aluminum foil to cover foods may cause  
moisture to collect and drip into the drawer.  
The drawer slides allow you to fully extend the drawer  
for easier cleaning. If necessary, the drawer can be  
removed.

(45 kg).
