The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
■
Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
■
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 use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
■
Do not use the warming drawer for a
storage area. Items stored in the warming
drawer can ignite.
■
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the warming drawer
when not in use.
■
Clean only parts listed in the Care and
cleaning of the warming drawer 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.
