PREHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Warming Drawer is designed to keep cooked foods warm for extended periods of time. The drawer must
be pre-heated before use on high (see Use and Care Guide). If the warming drawer isn’t pre-heated, the
internal temperature of the food being warmed could fall below the minimum safe level and bacteria could
develop. Always preheat the drawer according to the instructions described in the warming drawer Use and
Care Guide.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be
allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
■
Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round door handle and may grab and open
the warming drawer. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if it
is in use and hot.
WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children in, above or around any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if
