IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
Do Not Use Water or Flour on
Grease Fires. Smother the fire with a pan lid,
or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—
Build-up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the
warmer drawer during a power failure. If
the power fails, always turn the control off.
If the drawer is not turned off and the power
resumes, the drawer may begin to operate
again. Food left unattended could spoil.
Never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR WARMER DRAWER
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum
foil to line warmer drawer. Any other use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in poor performance or damage to
the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for use without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Use Care When Opening Warmer Drawer—
Stand to the side of the unit when opening
the door of a hot drawer. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the warmer drawer.
• Placement of Warmer Drawer Racks—
Always place rack in desired location while
drawer is cool. If rack must be moved while
hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the
hot element or interior of the warmer drawer.
Remove all utensils from the rack before
removing rack.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR WARMER DRAWER
• Clean the drawer regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not

• Kitchen cleaners/aerosols—Always follow
the manufacturer's recommended directions
for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom
