Children below the age of 7 should use the Warming Drawer
only with a supervising person very near to them. For children
between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should
be in the same room. The child must be able to reach the
Warming Drawer comfortably.
To reduce the risk of tipping of the drawer, the Anti-Tip
block must be properly installed. Refer to the Installation
Instructions for placement.
Burn HazarD
•
DO NOT touch any of the surfaces inside or outside the
Warming Drawer during or immediately after use. After
use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to
cool before touching them.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
Warming Drawer.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use dry
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
•
•
Exercise caution when opening the drawer. Let hot air or
steam escape before looking or reaching into the Warming
Drawer.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
cookware from the Warming Drawer. Wet pot holders can
cause steam burns.
Children need to understand that the Warming Drawer is
not a toy.
aluMinuM FOil usaGe
FOOD saFety
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.
•
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the
Warming Drawer. Using a foil liner could result in a fire
hazard or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation
air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be
trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the
performance of the Warming Drawer parts.
When warming foods in oven safe glass and/or glass ceramic
container, a higher temperature setting may be needed
compared to heating in metal containers
•
To avoid excess condensation inside the drawer, foods may
be covered with aluminum foil. This will also help keep
the food from drying out.
Opening the drawer during use and/or adding more items
will allow the hot air to escape and may require more time
for the temperature in the drawer to stabilize.
MaxiMuM CapaCity
Be sure to maintain safe food temperature. The USDA recom-
mends holding hot food at 140˚F or warmer.
•
DO NOT place more than 50 pounds in the drawer.
To keep several foods hot together, set the temperature
according to the food needing the highest setting. Place items
needing highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and
food needing less heat on the tray.

Preheat with the rack in place.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
Sharp may cause injuries.
For best results, preheat your Warming Drawer according to
the chart below before use. If you put hot food into a cool,
confined area, any steam that is present will condense. If you
preheat your Warming Drawer, there will be less chance of
water due to condensation. Preheat times vary depending on
the temperature setting.
•
Always place racks in desired position while drawer is cool.
If racks must be removed while Warming Drawer is hot, do
not let the potholder contact the heating elements.

DO NOT USE aluminum foil to line any part of the
Warming Drawer. Using a foil liner could result in a fire
hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation
