touch any of the surfaces inside or outside the
Warming Drawer during or immediately after use. After
use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to
cool before touching them.
Exercise caution when opening the drawer. Let hot air or
•
steam escape before looking or reaching into the Warming
Drawer.

cause steam burns.
aluMinuM FOil usaGe
DO NOT
•
use aluminum foil to line any part of the
Warming Drawer. Using a foil liner could result in a fire
hazard or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation
air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be
trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the
performance of the Warming Drawer parts.
To avoid excess condensation inside the drawer, foods may
•
be covered with aluminum foil. This will also help keep
the food from drying out.

DraWer
Children below the age of 7 should use the Warming Drawer
only with a supervising person very near to them. For children
between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should
be in the same room. The child must be able to reach the
Warming Drawer comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
Warming Drawer.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use dry
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to understand that the Warming Drawer is
not a toy.
FOOD saFety
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.
When warming foods in oven safe glass and/or glass ceramic
container, a higher temperature setting may be needed
compared to heating in metal containers
Opening the drawer during use and/or adding more items
will allow the hot air to escape and may require more time
for the temperature in the drawer to stabilize.
Be sure to maintain safe food temperature. The USDA recom-
mends holding hot food at
140˚F or warmer.
To keep several foods hot together, set the temperature
according to the food needing the highest setting. Place items
needing highest temperature on the bottom of the drawer and
food needing less heat on the tray.
