Warnings To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage • Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. • Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. • Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. • Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items in the drawer as they may melt or soften if left too close to a heating element. • Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. About your Appliance • DO NOT touch the heating elements or interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. Use handles or knobs. • DO NOT store flammable materials in drawer. Heating Elements • Use only dry potholders. If moist or damp potholders are used, steam from potholders could cause a steam burn. DO NOT let potholders touch hot heating elements located under the drawer. DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloths in place of potholders. • Use care when opening the drawer. Let hot air or steam escape (open vent) before removing or replacing food. • DO NOT place food in unopened containers in the drawer. Pressure could build up and cause the container to burst. • NEVER use the appliance for other than intended use. • DO NOT use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. • DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the drawer. It is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance and can damage the interior finish. • Always place warming racks in desired position while drawer is cool. • Keep drawer closed when not in use. • DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your warming drawer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. • DO NOT install or store indoor models where they will be exposed to the weather. Before Using Drawer 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 first use of the appliance-this is normal. 5
