Electrical Requirements

Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Placement of Warming Drawer Racks – Always place
warming drawer racks in desired location while warming
drawer is cool. If rack must be moved while warming
drawer is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in warming drawer.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF WARMING DRAWER – Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of a warming drawer become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of warming drawer until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
warming drawer may become hot enough to cause burns –
among these surfaces are warming drawer vent openings
and surfaces near these openings and warming drawer
doors.
It is important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your
warming drawer, be provided.
Recommended Grounding Method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This
appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If mating wall receptacle
is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
