Safety Instructions Using the warming drawer. (on some models) WARNING FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F. • Always start with hot food. Do not use warm settings to heat cold food. • Do not warm food for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.

Operating Instructions WARMING DRAWER When Using the Warming Drawer Push and turn the control knob to any desired setting. The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm. Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and could damage the interior finish. Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat. ■ Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer. ■ All foods placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape. ■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish. NOTE: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan 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. Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Temperature Selection Chart To keep several different foods hot, set the control to the food needing the highest setting. ■ The temperature, type and amount of food, and the time held will affect the quality of the food. ■ Repeated opening of the drawer allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool. ■ With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher warming drawer setting and cover some of the cooked food items. ■ Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap.
