USE & CARE INFORMATION

OPERATIONAL GUIDE

The Warming Drawer is designed to keep previously
cooked foods at a safe, warm temperature, for
extended periods of time, when operated correctly.
It is not designed to cook or reheat food. The Warm-
ing Drawer should be pre-heated according to the
chart below prior to inserting the food to be
warmed. Food may be kept up to two hours in the
warming drawer. Failure to pre-heat could result in
unsafe food temperatures, which could accelerate
the formation of bacteria in the food being kept
warm. The dial on the top right corner of the unit is
the on/off and temperature control adjustment.
When the dial is turned clockwise from the off posi-
tion to the proof position, the unit will maintain a
temperature of approximately 100°F. By rotating
the dial clockwise to the high position, the drawer will reach a temperature of approximately
230°F.
To Use:
Turn the thermostat dial to a temperature setting;

■ If you will be using the tray, preheat it while preheating the warming drawer.
■ Preheat any empty serving dishes to be used, while preheating the drawer.
■ Add cooked, hot food in its cooking container or heat-safe container.
■ Aluminum foil may be used to cover food containers.
CAUTION
Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap. They can melt if in direct
contact with the drawer or a hot utensil and if these items melt, they may
adhere to the drawer and may be unremovable. Use only heat-safe dishes.
