To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to adjust, repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified servicer.
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death; follow information in this manual exactly to prevent a fire or explosion. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.
WARNINGWARNIN
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the drawer.
WARNING
DO NOT use plastic wrap to cover foods placed in the drawer, nor to keep foods warm that are wrapped or placed in plastic containers for heating. Plastics can melt onto the drawer if they are in direct contact. If melted onto the drawer, they can be very difficult to remove.
CAUTION
DO NOT use any cleaning agent with chlorine or chlorine compounds on stainless steel fi nish. Chlorine and chlorine compounds are corrosive to stainless steel.

BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and drawer is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the drawer or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
WARNING
Make sure that incoming voltage is the same as unit rating. An electric rating plate specifying voltage, hertz, wattage, amps, and phase is attached to the product. Wiring the warming drawer with more voltage than it is rated for may cause severe damage to the thermostat, element, and other components. Wiring the warming drawer with less voltage than it is rated for may cause significantly decrease in performance.

Condensation
The warming drawer is supplied with a system which provides a natural circulation of air. In most cases, this natural circulation will eliminate any observed condensation. However, there will be instances where condensation is observed. This is NOT a sign that the unit is not working properly.
Condensation can occur depending on the following factors:
• Type of food being cooked
- Steam and condensation is a natural by product of cooking any food with high water content, such as frozen food, chicken, etc.
- Use a covered container, where practical, when cooking to reduce the amount of condensation that forms.
• Length of cooking time
- If the unit is going to be used for prolonged periods of time, then additional ventilation may be required.
- Do not leave food in the drawer to cool after it has been cooked and has been switched off.
- To reduce condensation, ensure the drawer is well heated before placing food in the drawer.
• Proper installation ventilation
- The drawer needs good ventilation within the installed cabinets to perform per specification.
- Type of cabinetry the oven is installed in
- Cabinets need to meet specific temperature requirements.
- Ambient conditions in the kitchen including humidity and temperature can increase the amount of condensation that forms.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your warming drawer must be kept clean and maintained properly. Make sure all controls are in the "OFF" position.
- Allow warming drawer to cool completely.
- It is important to keep the slide rails clear and free from debris. Periodic cleaning of slide rails and other adjoining parts is necessary to assure smooth drawer operation.
- If needed, the warming drawer pan support can be removed for cleaning. Pull the warming drawer out until fully extended. Slide finger along right and left side rail until you reach hand latches (located at the front of rails). Pull up on on the left side latch and press down on the right latch at the same time and pull out the drawer pan.
Removing / Replacing the Drawer
WARNING
To prevent burns, do not remove drawer while hot. Be sure drawer is empty before removing.
WARNING
Ensure the ball bearing retainers are fully extended forward prior to installing the drawer slides into the cabinet slide receptacle. Failure to bring them forward and smoothly inserted into the drawer will result in physical damage to the drawer slide assemblies. NOTE: It is important to ensure that the drawer mounted rail(s) are lined up correctly into the rail guide(s) of the cabinet mounted receiver in order to avoid misalignment that will cause slide assembly damage
