Important Safety Instructions
Save these instructions
Read all instructions carefully before using your warming drawer to reduce the risk 
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian in accordance with the installation instructions provided with the warming 
drawer. 
The warming drawer is for keeping hot food hot. Never use it to warm or heat a 
room.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified techni-
cian.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in 
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. 
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above the drawer. If a child 
should climb onto the drawer to reach these items, s/he could be seriously injured.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause 
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. 
Do not let potholders touch hot heating element located under the drawer.
CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:
1) DO NOT use the warming drawer to heat cold food (exception: it is safe to use 
the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates).
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends hold-
ing hot food at 140°F or warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Storage - Do not store flammable materials in the drawer.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open door a crack and let hot air or steam 
escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not place food in unopened containers in the drawer. Pressure could build up 
and cause container to burst.
Do not touch the interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the 
drawer could become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil will trap heat beneath it. This will 
upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.
CAUTION: This unit is approved for general residential kitchen use only. It is not 
approved for outdoor use.
Note: The appliance referred to throughout this manual is manufactured by BSH
