PREHEATING
The warming drawer is designed to keep cooked foods warm for extended periods of time. The drawer must
be pre-heated before use on high (see 'Operating instructions'). If the warming drawer isn't preheated, the
internal temperature of the food being warmed could fall below the minimum safe level and bacteria could
develop. Always preheat the drawer according to the instructions described in this manual
WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children in, above or around any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if
they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items.
■ Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be
allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
■ Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the door handle and may grab and open the warm-
ing drawer. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if it is in use
and hot.
Be certain to use only dry pot holders: Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ Never store anything in the warming drawer. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or
ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
■ Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the drawer. Some fabrics are
quite flammable and could catch on fire.

■ 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 perfor mance of the warming drawer parts.

warm or heat a room.
