• Read this Use and Care and Installation Manual thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Remove all packaging materials from your appliance.
• Install according to instructions. To insure proper installation and servicing, follow the installation guide which came with this appliance.
• Be sure to have a qualified service technician install and ground this appliance.
• Plug into rated outlet: 120 Volts AC, 15 amp GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) circuit requirement.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

WARNING

FOR OUT DOOR INSTALLATION, INSTALLER MUST INSTALL A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPT (GFI).

• The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should retain for local inspector’s use and for future reference.
• This appliance is not fused. Protect with a proper sized fuse or circuit breaker and a GFI for outdoor models.
• Line disconnect switch, circuit breaker, GFI (for outdoor models) or plug/receptacle of power cord connection should be readily accessible to the operator.
• Ground unit per applicable electrical codes.
• Any installation not matching the specifications discussed in these instructions will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
• Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round door handle and may grab and open the warming drawer. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if it is in use and hot.

WARNING

Do not store items of interest to children in, above or around any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items.

Be certain to use only dry pot holders: Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

• Never store anything in the warming drawer. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
• Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the drawer. Some fabrics are quite flammable and could catch on fire.
• For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the warming drawer door.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while using this appliance.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the warming drawer. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the performance of the warming drawer parts.

WARNING

This appliance is designed for keeping food warm. Based on safety considerations, never use the warming drawer to warm or heat a room.

• As with any cooking appliance, never leave the warming drawer unattended when in use. This could be a fire hazard.
• Only certain types of glass, heat proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or glazes are suitable for use in this warming drawer. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with sudden temperature changes.

• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the warming drawer, then smother the fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• When opening the drawer while keeping liquids like soups and sauces, the drawer must be opened slowly to avoid spillage.
• Use care when opening a hot warming drawer. To avoid severe burns, open slowly and allow the hot air or steam to escape before reaching into the warming drawer to remove or replace any foods.
• Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified Service Technician. Service Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.
• When using the warming drawer: To avoid burn injuries, DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES or the exterior area immediately surrounding the door until it has had sufficient time to cool.
• Clean the warming drawer with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
• Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
• Use caution when touching the heating element (even if it is dark in color) and the interior surfaces of the warming drawer.
• Do not allow flammable materials which may ignite to come in contact with  the hot heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer until the unit has had a sufficient time to cool.

FLUSH INSTALLATION

A frame should be constructed 2 ” (51mm) setback from the front face of the product to both push the product up against and to conceal the cutout clearance around the front frame as below. The internal dimensions of the frame should be the same dimension as the proud installation cutout (fig 02A).

WARNING

Do not seal the product in with silicone or similar. Doing so will result in the product being difficult to remove for servicing.

MOUNTING INSTALLATION

The lower rear corners of the cabinet need to provide proper support to the back of the Warming Drawer and the anti-tip mounting clips. A 120 volt AC 15 amp (GFI) outlet should be located no further than 36 inches from the back center of the Warming Drawer. Illustrations suggest one possible bottom support, but the consumer is not limited to this idea for mounting configuration.

• STEP 1
  The bottom rear section of the cabinet should be made of moisture protected lumber and needs to be installed to hold the anti-tip mounting clips and support the weight of Warming Drawer, which is 90 lbs. A pair of supports located as shown on the previous pages is recommended to allow water to drain from drawer once installed.

• STEP 2
  Use the screws provided to attach the mounting clips which must be installed for anti-tip safety to the bottom support at the back. See placement dimensions in Fig. 05 and Fig. 06.
  
  Fig. 05

• STEP 3
  The Warming Drawer has slots on the back side where it will slide onto the anti-tip mounting clips. Plug power cord into the AC outlet. See figure 06.
  
  Fig. 06

• STEP 4
  Fasten the front face to the cabinet by passing the screws through the 2 holes of the front face of the warming drawer to finish the installation. See figure 07.
  
  Fig. 07

NOTE: The bottom support made of moisture protected lumbar runners or other moisture protected construction must be capable of supporting the weight of the warming drawer. A drain hole MUST be provided for drainage.

USE & CARE INFORMATION

OPERATIONAL GUIDE

Fig. 08

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 Warming Drawer should be pre-heated on HIGH 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. After preheat, when the dial is turned clockwise from the OFF position to the LOW position, the unit will maintain a temperature of approximately 175°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: HIGH MEDIUM LOW

• 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.

PREHEAT TIME AND TEMPERATURE SELECTOR:

• Always preheat on HIGH, then turn the knob to the desired setting.
  LOW…………..Preheat on HIGH 10 min. 140°-170°
  MEDIUM …. Preheat on HIGH 15 min. 170°-200°
  HIGH…………Preheat on HIGH 20 min. 200°-230°

• To keep several different foods hot together, set the temperature to the food needing the highest setting. Place items needing highest setting on the bottom of the drawer and food needing less heat on the tray

CLEANING THE WARMING DRAWER

• Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance, particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer face. All parts of the drawer can be cleaned with a hot soapy damp cloth, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.

• Be sure the Warming Drawer is turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

• Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read their directions.
  Try on a small area first.

• To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines. The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.

• Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic or non-metal soap pads for cleaning or scouring, as recommended in this section. (Caution: some soap pads can scratch).

• Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.

• Remove food particles after every use.

1. DRAWER: Clean the drawer with warm soapy damp sponge or cloth.
2. DRAWER FRONT: Shine with stainless steel cleaner in direction of grain.
3. GASKET: Clean with warm soapy damp sponge (care should be taken when cleaning the gasket because silicon is tough until it is cut, at which time it will tear very easily).
4. KNOB: The on/off/ temperature knob may be removed to be cleaned. See Figure 01. Be aware that the pull off force will decrease and a loose knob could become a choking hazard for small children.
5. LIGHT: Clean with damp cloth or sponge.
6. DRAWER CAVITY: Same as drawer above.
7. ELEMENT: Care should be taken when cleaning the heating element. Only clean the element when the unit is cool. Use warm soapy water on a damp cloth.
8. STAINLESS STEEL TRAY: Can be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water at the sink.

REMOVING THE DRAWER

Be sure the drawer is cool and no food items or trays are in the drawer. Never attempt to remove the drawer while the unit is on or warm.

1. To remove the drawer, first remove plates, trays, etc., from the drawer.
2. Pull the drawer open towards you all the way until the latches are visible.
3. Carefully push the latch down on the left side, while lifting up the latch on the right side.
4. Pull the drawer out of the frame. Note: to prevent damage to surfaces, place the drawers on a stable surface on a protective towel or table cloth.
   

REPLACING THE DRAWER

WARNING

With the drawer removed, the heating element is exposed (see Figure 13).

Never turn the unit on while the drawer is removed. Never let children play near or touch the warming drawer while it is not safely installed. Push the slides back into the cabinet while the drawer is removed to prevent accidents.

1. To reinstall the drawer, extend the slides fully to their stop position.
2. Engage the drawer rails into the guide rails. Pull the guide rails forward until they ‘click’ into place.
3. Push the drawer all the way in (you may feel some resistance) to completely engage the drawer.

NOTE: the drawer is ‘soft closing’.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

SUGGESTED TEMPERATURES TO KEEP FOODS HOT

**USDA/FSIS recommends an internal temperature of 145°F as the minimum doneness for beef. Use a portable meat thermometer to check internal temperatures.
