Frequently Asked Questions - ZJ7000SJSS Monogram

How do I use the warming drawer?

Open the drawer. Press the ON/OFF switch to ON. Slide the moisture selector to open or closed. Turn the control knob to the desired setting (PROOF, LOW, MED, HIGH). Preheat as recommended. Place hot food inside. The ON light glows when the drawer is operating.

What is the moisture selector for?

The moisture selector controls the vent. Slide it away from the knob to close the vent and keep foods moist. Slide it toward the knob to open the vent and keep foods crisp.

Can I heat cold food in the warming drawer?

No. The warming drawer is designed only to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature (above 140°F). Cold food cannot be heated or cooked, except for proofing yeast dough or crisping stale items.

How do I proof yeast dough?

Place dough in a bowl on the drawer bottom. Turn knob to LOW then immediately back to PROOF. Close the vent. Do not preheat. Cover dough with a cloth. Check after 40 minutes until doubled.

How do I crisp stale food?

Place food in low-sided dishes. Preheat on LOW with vent open. Check after 45 minutes. Add time as needed.

How should I clean the stainless steel exterior?

Use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner. Wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool pads. For cleaner, call 800.626.2002 (USA).

What is the maximum load for the warming drawer?

The maximum load is 50 pounds (22.7 kg). Overloading may cause the drawer to drag or not slide smoothly.

Can I use aluminum foil in the warming drawer?

You may use aluminum foil to cover food to prevent drying, but do not line the drawer interior with foil. Foil traps heat and can damage the finish or affect performance.

What is covered under warranty?

One year from original purchase, parts and service labor are covered for manufacturing defects. Exclusions include improper installation, misuse, commercial use, and incidental damages.

What should I do if the drawer doesn't slide smoothly?

Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in to realign ball bearings. Reduce weight to under 50 lbs and redistribute contents evenly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above the warming drawer; children climbing on the drawer to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the warming drawer.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Flame in the warming drawer can be smothered by closing the drawer or using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

- Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the warming drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the vent unobstructed.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the warming drawer when not in use, items may ignite.
• Clean only parts listed in the Care and Cleaning section.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using this appliance.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Design information

(Not all features are on all models. Appearance may vary.)

Control knob

The warming drawer controls are hidden with the drawer shut. Open the drawer. The controls are on the right side of the front frame.

To use the warming drawer, press the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

Slide the moisture selector control to the open or closed setting. (See the Moisture Selector section.)

Turn the control knob clockwise to the desired setting.

PROOF.....75–95°F. MED.....160–195°F.

LOW.... 140–160°F. HIGH.... 195–230°F.

ON signal light

The ON signal light is located below the ON/OFF switch and glows when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. It stays on until the ON/OFF switch is moved to the OFF position.

The ON signal light is visible through the light viewer in the drawer front panel when the drawer is closed. This is a reminder that the heat is on.

Moisture selector

The moisture selector is located on the inside front of the drawer.

To keep foods moist, slide the moisture selector control away from the control knob. This closes the vent and seals the moisture inside the drawer. With the vent closed hot foods stay moist and soft.

In this setting condensation may occur around the inside edge of the drawer.

To keep foods crisp, slide the moisture selector control to the right towards the control knob. This opens the vents and allows the moisture to escape.

With the vents open, it is normal for moisture to collect on surfaces above the warming drawer.

Rack

When using the warming drawer...

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than proofing yeast dough, crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Do not line the warming drawer with aluminum foil.

- Allow time for the drawer to be preheated: LOW 8 minutes MED 15 minutes HIGH 20 minutes

NOTE: It is not necessary to preheat the drawer for proofing.

• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic utensils may need higher thermostat setting as compared to food in metal utensils.

• Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool. Allow extra time for temperature inside the drawer to stabilize after adding items.

• With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher thermostat setting and cover some of the cooked food items.

• Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to prevent it from drying out.

CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

- Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing containers in warming drawer.

To warm serving bowl and plates

To warm serving bowls and plates set the control on LOW.

• Use only heat-safe dishes.

• Place the empty dishes on the rack to raise them off the bottom of the drawer. If you want hotter dishes or want to heat fine china, please check with the manufacturer of the dishes for their maximum heat tolerance.

• Preheat empty serving dish while preheating the drawer.

• When holding hot, cooked foods and warming empty serving dishes at the same time, place the serving dishes on the high rack position and the food on the bottom of the drawer.

CAUTION: Dishes may be hot. Use pot holders or mitts when removing hot dishes.

To proof yeast bread dough

Yeast dough can be proofed in the warming drawer.

• Place your dish on the warming drawer bottom.
• You must always turn the control knob to LOW then immediately back to PROOF.
• Close the vent.
• Lightly oil the top of the dough in a bowl large enough to double the dough size. Cover with a cloth.
  • Preheating not required for proofing.
• Check the dough height in 40 minutes. Add time as needed. The dough should remain in the drawer until it has doubled in size and a slight depression remains when the surface is touched gently with a finger.

To crisp stale items

• Place food in low sided dishes or pans.
• Preheat on LOW setting and open the vent.

- Check crispness after 45 minutes. Add time as needed.

Temperature selection chart for crisp foods

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