Before Using Your Appliance

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Before using, clean the drawer thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and odors on fi rst use of the appliance—this is normal.

Temperature Controls

The temperature control dial is used to select the temperature of the warming drawer.

The warming drawer should only be opened when adding or removing food. Continuous opening of the drawer allows warm air to escape and make the food colder.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. It is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This may affect the performance of the warming drawer and the interior fi nish.

Heat Light ON
The heat-on blue indicator light turns on when the control knob is set and cycles “on” and “off ” with the heating element as temperature is maintained.

Moisture Vent Control
The moisture vent control is located at the top inside of the warming drawer. It can be adjusted in any position between “open” and “close” to maintain desired degree of moisture.

For crispy foods, slide the moisture vent control inward to open the vents and allow the moisture to escape.
For moist food, slide the moisture vent control outward to close the vents and seal the moisture inside the drawer.

Heating Instructions

1. Dry Heat
   • The main function of the warming drawer is to maintain food at a desired serving temperature.
   • Place previously prepared foods directly into the empty steam pans (no water) and set the moisture vent control.
   • Set the temperature control dial. The heat-on blue indicator light will illuminate until the desired temperature is reached.

2.   Moist Heat
   • The warming drawer also seals moisture within the drawer to keep the food moist.
   • Put just enough of water, approximately ½” high, in the steam pans.
   • Place the steam rack inside the steam pan.
   • Place the food directly on the rack or use a suitable container that will fi t in the steam pans. Do not use plastic
   containers or utensils.
   • Set the temperature control dial. The heat-on blue indicator light will illuminate until the desired temperature is reached.
   • Periodically, check the water level in the steam pans and add water when necessary.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Warming Drawer is made of welded stainless steel. It is non-rusting and non-magnetic.

1. Allow the warming drawer and its accessories to cool before cleaning.
2. Remove steam pans and all accessories from the warming drawer.
3. Unplug the warming drawer prior to cleaning.
4. Clean all items including the drawer with a mild cleanser. Scrub dirt with a sponge in the direction of the grain.
5. When cleaning the front panel, always scrub in the direction of the grain. In order to maintain the luster and highlights of the polished surface, do not use abrasives when cleaning the polished surfaces.
6. Do not use steel wool to clean the drawer and accessories.
7. Check out the slide rails and make sure they are clean and free from debris.
8. It is recommended to clean the warming drawer after every use.

Stainless Steel

Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.
In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps: Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner* to clean and polish the exterior surfaces.

Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount of effort required. Part of the appeal of your Lynx Accessory is the fine grain finish. When removing stubborn stains:

• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on your Lynx Accessory.
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake onto the surface, giving the appearance of rust. To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
• Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel. Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before you allow the use of such chemicals.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND COASTAL AREAS :
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of a Lynx Grill is highly rust-resistant, however, chlorine in the air
from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product.

Here are a few tips to avoid this :

• Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. (Micro fiber cloths such as E-cloth perform very well).
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp sink.
• In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the stainless. Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCI™) protect the surface very well.
• For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the sink is dry and then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.

THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST RUST-THROUGH OF PARTS THAT RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
For light and heavy food stains, there are many different stainless steel cleaners available.
