IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Safety
• 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 fl ammable materials touch
these areas until they have had suffi cient time to cool.
• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fi tting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the ap-
pliance. Do not let clothing or other fl ammable 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.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line warmer drawer. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in poor performance or damage to the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recom-
mended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food.
• 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.
• Use Care When Opening Warmer Drawer—Stand to the side of the unit when opening the door of a hot
drawer. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the warmer drawer.
• Placement of Warmer Drawer Racks—Always place rack in desired location while drawer is cool. If rack
must be moved while hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to re-
position. Do not let potholders contact the hot element or interior of the warmer drawer. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother the fi re or fl ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR WARM & SERVE
DRAWER
• Clean the drawer regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fi re. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits could catch fi re.
• Kitchen cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
