WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Press the POWER “ON” switch to turn on the warming drawer. Once the power is turned on, a red indicator light will illuminate. This indicator light is located on the right side of the Timer Override switch.

When finished, press the POWER “OFF” switch to turn off the warming drawer. When the warming drawer is turned off automatically or manually, the indicator light will go out and the drawer will begin to cool.

The automatic 4-hour timer can be turned off using the Timer Override switch. This feature allows you to keep the warming drawer on until it is turned off manually with the Power “Off” switch.

It is recommended that the switch remain in the “Off” position, unless longer warming times are required. When the Timer Override switch is in the “On” position, the light on the switch will illuminate, showing the Timer has been bypassed.

IMPORTANT: Although the Timer can be bypassed by using the Timer Override switch, do not let food sit in the warming drawer for more than 1 hour. Bacterial growth may occur.

Moist-Dry Slide

MOIST DRY

Temperature Control Knob

The temperature is controlled by rotating the control knob to the desired setting. The temperature ranges from LO to HIGH, approximately 90°F to 225°F (32°C to 107°C).

Timer

The warming drawer has an automatic 4-hour timer. After

4 hours, the warming drawer will shut off. Although the automatic timer is set for a 4-hour period, do not leave food in warming drawer for more than 1 hour.

The Moist-Dry slide allows you to open or close the vent slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in, while the DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escape from the drawer.

NOTE: Condensation may form on inner surfaces. This is normal.

To keep foods moist, put slide on MOIST, closing the vents. Closing the vents will seal the drawer and keeps hot food soft and moist.

To keep foods crisp, put slide on DRY, opening the vents. Opening the vents releases moisture from the drawer and keeps hot foods crisp and dry.
