SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above the
warming drawer;
children climbing on the
drawer to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam.
Do not let pot holders touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
• For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the warming
drawer.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
•
Flame in the warming drawer can be
smothered by closing the drawer or using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
•
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the
warming drawer may be hot when the drawer
is opened.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
• Use care when opening the drawer. Open the
drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
Hot air or
steam which escapes can cause burns to hands,
face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the vent unobstructed.
• Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use the warming drawer for a storage
area. Items stored in the warming drawer
can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the warming drawer when not in use.
• Clean only parts listed in the Care and
Cleaning section.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it.
This will upset the
performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.
Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
