■
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while using this
appliance.
■
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.
