!WARNING
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the warmer drawer. Do not allow children to climb or play around the drawer. An open drawer, when hot, may cause burns.
•Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in the drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the warmer drawer. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
•Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
•DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE WARMER DRAWER. Surfaces may be hot even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
•Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
•Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
•IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the warmer drawer during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the control off. If the drawer is not turned off and the power resumes, the drawer may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could spoil.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations.
