GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner’s Manual.
■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
■ Do not attempt to repair, replace or clean any part
of your warming drawer unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be transferred to a qualified technician.
■ Before performing any service, disconnect the
power supply at the household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
■ Do not leave children alone—children should not
be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
■
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above a warming drawer -
children climbing on the warming 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 in
place of pot holders.
■ Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
■ Do not touch the heating elements or the interior
surface of the warming drawer. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
any interior area of the warming drawer; allow
sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of
the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the warming
drawer vent opening, surfaces near the opening
and crevices around the warming drawer door.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer
bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in
damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.
■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or control
panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire
or cuts may occur.
■ The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold
hot cooked foods at serving temperature (greater
than 140°F). Bacteria will grow in food while it
is below 140°F. Therefore, always start with hot
food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the
warming drawer.
