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.

not understand.  
Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels  
• 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

CAUTION  
Heating Elements  
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in  
• 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.

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.

WARNING  
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.  
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.  
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.  
WARNING  
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or  
explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.  
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  
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.  
WARNING  
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain  
in the drawer for more than two hours.

Warnings  
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.  
WARNING  
FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
To reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, DO NOT use a  
flexible power-supply cord with this appliance.  
WARNING  
Make sure that incoming voltage is the same as unit rating. An electric  
rating plate specifying voltage, hertz, wattage, amps, and phase is  
attached to the product. Wiring the warming drawer with more voltage  
than it is rated for may cause severe damage to the thermostat,  
element, and other components. Wiring the warming drawer with less  
voltage than it is rated for may cause significant decrease in  
performance.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, installation  
work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified people in  
accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated  
conditions.

Drawer Features  
Operation  
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.

Drawer Indicator Light  
Temperature Control Settings  
The drawer indicator light is located on the front panel of the drawer.  
The drawer indicator light will glow red when the drawer element is  
heated. The light will cycle on and off as the temperature is maintained.  
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.  
Optional Accessories for Moist or 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  
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.  
3) two  
2½” D. x  
12” L. x  
7” W.  
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.  
pans/lids  
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.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no

properly. Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.  
Power “ON” Light  
The power “ON” light is located above the temperature control knob  
on Custom models and below the temperature control knob on  
Designer models. It turns on when the control knob is set and cycles  
on and off with the heating element as temperature is maintained.

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy  
water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner  
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO  
NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary,  
scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with  
hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or  
scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to  
scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain  
on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless  
steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
