7. Grasp both sides of the drawer and carefully remove the drawer housing, pulling straight and level. This step may require light to moderate force to completely remove drawer.

Reinstalling the warming drawer to the drawer housing

Requirement: The slides mounted to each side of the housing wall have two moving components, an inner rail and a ball bearing carrier which need to be in the proper orientation for accurate installation and alignment. There is also a visible locking mechanism located at the rear of each slide.

1. Slide the inner rail to the locked position by pushing it toward the rear of the housing until it locks in place.
   
   
   Note: A moderate force pushing on the black plastic ball carrier locking mechanism is required to activate the lock. When the drawer is installed, the locking mechanism prevents the drawer from springing back to the open position.

2. Position the warming drawer in front of the drawer housing. Align the rail with the plastic rail tip to the ball carrier slide.
   

3. Keep the drawer assembly level and square to the housing and gently insert the drawer to the housing, until a slight increase in resistance is felt at the approximate position shown below.
   
   Notes

   • A slight side-to-side wiggle motion may be required to properly get the ball bearings to accurately align.
   • If more than a moderate force is required to insert the drawer, remove the drawer and repeat the installation procedure.

4. Push the drawer in fully. An audible “click” should be heard when the drawer is properly closed causing the drawer to lock in the closed position

Testing the operation

Check if your unit is working properly after you have completed the installation steps.

1. Turn on power at the breaker.
2. To test the oven select the Bake mode. See the User Manual for detailed operating instructions.
