USING THE WARMING DRAWER FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Do not use to heat cold food other than proofi ng yeast dough, crisping crackers,
chips, and dry cereal. Do not use to heat warming dishes or plates.
• 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 let potholders touch hot heating element located in the upper part of the
