Using the Warming Drawer

Opening and Closing the Drawer

To open the drawer, grasp the handle and pull. To close the drawer, gently push it back to engage the soft-close slides.

Before You Begin

Before using the appliance for the first time:

1. Make sure that all packaging materials have been removed from the unit.
2. Gently clean it with a moist cloth and dry it completely. Replace the silicone mat on the floor of the drawer.
3. Set the control to 150°F [65°C] and let the warming drawer warm for at least two hours. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated during the heating period. The metal parts have been specially treated with a protective coating that can sometimes cause odors the first time the drawer is heated. These odors will quickly dissipate and should not be considered a defect.

Heating System

The appliance is equipped with a hot air ventilating system. A convection fan distributes heat in the warming drawer to obtain a uniform temperature. The thermostat allows the user to control and set the appliance at 4 preset temperatures. The circulation of the air heats the drawer in a rapid and uniform way. It is not possible to accidentally touch the heating element or the fan.

Changing Temperature Scale

The unit is set to the Fahrenheit (°F) temperature scale by default. To change to Celsius (°C):

1. With the unit off, press the TEMP button then the POWER button and hold for 30 seconds. The control is in °C mode when the right-most decimal point in the display is on.
2. Use the same process to revert to °F mode.

Controls and Indicators

The warming drawer features a digital control with a 3-digit time/temperature display. There are 4 preset temperatures and 5 time intervals. An interior halogen light comes on when the drawer is opened. A red power indicator light is present on the control.

Operation

1. Open the drawer and place your dishes or food products inside.
2. Press the POWER button. The display will briefly show a software revision, then go blank. The red power indicator light will illuminate.
3. Press the TEMP button to cycle through the 4 preset temperatures: 100, 125, 150, 200°F [38, 52, 65, 93°C]. The default temperature is 100°F [38°C]. This action initiates the heating cycle. The convection fan will begin rotating and will be on at all times until the time has run out and the unit shuts down.
4. Press the TIME button to cycle through the 5 preset time intervals: 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours.
5. During operation, the heating element will cycle to maintain the set temperature. The unit will chime at the end of the time interval and then shut down automatically. The display and power indicator light will also shut off.
6. If you wish to change the temperature or time interval, shut off the unit (POWER button) and repeat steps 2-4.

To turn off the appliance, press the POWER button.

Heating Time

Heating time is influenced by the amount of dishes or food in the drawer, the arrangement of items, and the temperature setting. In general, the more dishes or items and the higher the set temperature, the longer it will take to reach the set temperature.

Dish Warming

Food safety standards recommend hot foods be kept at an internal temperature of 140°F [60°C] or warmer. Warming your dishes at a setting of 150°F [65°C] will help accomplish this. Warming time will depend on the amount and type of plates. Experience will help you learn the optimal temperature setting.

Defrosting

It is possible to defrost foods in the warming drawer, but a low temperature setting of 100 or 125°F [38 or 52°C] is recommended. Be sure to place your food item on a plate or other receptacle to catch any melting water.

Proofing

Proofing of bread dough should be done at a low temperature of 100°F [38°C]. Depending on the dough type, you may also need added moisture. Place 1 cup [250 ml] of very hot water in a small glass measuring cup or bowl inside the warming drawer next to your dough. This will add moisture and keep the dough soft during rising. Place the bowl of dough in the warming drawer and close.

The warming drawer features a moisture control system of small vents on the inside face of the drawer. Loosen the thumbscrew and slide the shutter left or right to adjust the amount of moisture inside the drawer. Re-tighten the thumbscrew.

Food Warming

Food recommended for warming: meat, chicken, fish, sauces, vegetables, side dishes, soups, breads, pizza.

• To avoid spills, do not overfill the dishes.
• Arrange the dishes in the drawer and close it carefully so that any liquids do not spill.
• It is advisable not to warm food for more than an hour to prevent it from losing nutritional value.
• If food will be held for more than one hour, it must be held at 140°F [60°C] or above.
• Cover moist food and liquids with a lid or heat-resistant cling film. This will prevent moisture from escaping, condensation from forming, and moisture settling on the outside of the dishes.
• Do not cover roast or fried dishes which need to stay crisp. Keep these dishes hot at high temperatures.

Slow Cooking

NOTICE: This cooking method is limited by the maximum time interval of the control (4 hours). If your recipe requires a longer time, you will have to restart the unit again after the initial 4 hours.

Slow cooking is ideal for cooking tender meat which needs to be medium rare or rare. This cooking method means the meat will always be pink inside, but not raw or undercooked. This method keeps the juices inside and makes it easy to keep the meat hot. Suitable dishes: glass, porcelain, or ceramic with a lid.

Procedure

1. Preheat the warming drawer with the chosen dish at 200°F [93°C] for 15 minutes.
2. Heat some butter or oil in a pan. Brown the meat well for the time indicated in the table, then place it immediately in the preheated pan and cover with the lid.
3. Restart the control between 150/200°F [65/93°C] for the time required to finish the cooking.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• Only use fresh meat in perfect condition.
• Trim off any excess fat.
• The pieces of meat do not necessarily have to be turned.
• Once cooked, the meat can be carved immediately; it does not have to rest.
• Meat that is slow cooked is not as hot as meat cooked in the traditional way, so it is advisable to put the plates in the warming drawer on the left-hand side for the last 20-30 minutes.
• Serve the meat with piping hot sauces.
• If you want to keep the meat hot after cooking, restart the control at a lower temperature (100-150°F [38-65°C]). Smaller pieces of meat can be kept hot for 45 minutes and larger pieces for two hours.

Applications

Slow cooking is suitable for all tender cuts of beef, pork, veal, lamb, game, and poultry. The initial browning times and subsequent cooking times depend on the size of the slices of meat. The browning time is for meat placed in a preheated pan with butter or oil.

COOKING TIMES: As a guideline, allow 4 to 5 hours for a 200°F [93°C] setting, and 8 to 10 hours for a 150°F [65°C] setting. Smaller quantities of food may require less time, while larger quantities may require more time.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Drawer Slides

The drawer slides allow you to fully extend the drawer for cleaning. The drawer can also be completely removed for cleaning or to replace the interior light. Load capacity for the drawer is 80 lbs [36 kg].

Remove all items from inside the warming drawer, and allow the warming drawer to cool completely before attempting to remove the drawer.

To Remove:

1. Open drawer to its fully open position.
2. Locate the black tabs on both sides of the drawer.
3. Press the tab down on the right side of the drawer and lift the tab up on the left side of the drawer at the same time. Then pull the drawer out another inch to disengage the latches.
4. Hold the drawer by the sides (not by the front). Pull it slowly all the way out.

To Replace:

1. Align the drawer rails with the receiving slides.
2. Push drawer in all the way.
3. Gently open and close the drawer to ensure it is seated properly on the slides.

Cleaning

AWARNING: Before cleaning, turn the appliance OFF and disconnect it from the outlet or shut off the breaker. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

NOTICE: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive products and/or scrubbing pads and sponges and sharp objects, as they can stain and damage the appearance of the appliance. Never use a vacuum cleaner on the internal parts of the appliance.

Front Surface and Control Panel

A moist cloth is often sufficient. If needed, add a few drops of liquid detergent in the water. Dry with a dry cloth. The stainless steel front can be cleaned with products specifically designed for stainless steel. Apply a minimal amount of the product on a soft cloth and apply it to the surface. Clean the control panel ONLY with a cloth moistened with plain water. Harsh cleaners may discolor the plastic surface. If your Hestan appliance has a colored drawer panel, use warm soapy water ONLY. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Drawer Interior

Use a moist cloth to clean the drawer interior. If further cleaning is required, add drops of detergent to the water. Dry with a dry cloth. Avoid excessive water entering into the moisture control vents or the heating louvers and fan openings. Only use the appliance after the drawer is completely dry. The silicone rubber mat can be cleaned with mild detergent and water.

Replacing a Warming Drawer Light Bulb

The Warming Drawer is equipped with a halogen light on the right side of the unit.

AWARNING: Make sure the power has been shut off to the Warming Drawer. The light socket is energized when the drawer is open. Failure to shut off the power when replacing a light bulb could result in electric shock or burns. Make sure the glass lens is cool to the touch. Use care when handling the lens; it is fragile and can break if dropped.

Use only 20-watt, 12-volt, halogen "Bi-Pin" bulbs suitable for appliance use. Call Hestan Customer Care for more information.

To Replace a Light Bulb:

1. MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF! Unplug the unit or turn off power at the breaker. MAKE SURE THE LAMP IS COOL.
2. You may wish to remove the drawer before changing the bulb.
3. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to carefully pry off the glass lens at the top edge of the lens, and set aside. Reach into the lamp housing and pull out the old light bulb.
4. Before installation, clean the new bulb carefully with a clean, soft cloth or tissue paper. Grease, fingerprints, or oils can leave a residue on the glass surface of the bulb, creating a hot-spot that may cause the bulb to crack.
5. While using a cloth or tissue paper, insert the new bulb in the lamp housing. Push the bulb fully into the socket.
6. Re-install the glass lens, noting the cutout in the glass that aligns with the bulb socket.
7. Restore the power and check if the new bulb is working.
8. If the drawer was removed, re-install it.

Troubleshooting

Repairs must only be performed by specialized and qualified personnel. Any repair work not performed by professional personnel may cause damage to the appliance.

The Drawer is Not Hot Enough

Make sure that:

• The appliance is turned on.
• The correct temperature has been set.
• The opening of the ventilation fan is not blocked by plates or other large obstructions.
• The drawer has had sufficient time to heat up.

The Drawer Does Not Get Warm

Is it turned on? Is there a power outage or has the circuit-breaker tripped?

Can you hear the fan running?

• If the fan is running, then the heating system should be working. The fan is always running while the heating element cycles on and off to maintain the proper temperature. On low temperatures, it will cycle less frequently.
• In rare circumstances, if there is still no heat, the element may have exceeded a safe temperature and was cut off automatically. The element will reset itself after a short time. If this problem persists, contact Hestan Customer Care.
• If the interior light comes on, and the fan still does not run, the fan may be obstructed. Contact Hestan Customer Care. Do not attempt to dismantle the appliance to remove obstructions.

Packaging

Remove all tape and packaging before using the warming drawer. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the drawer following the rules in force in your locale. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

Power Requirements

This appliance is designed to use a grounded receptacle, 120 VAC Single Phase, 60 Hz, with a current rating as shown on page 5. When installed outdoors, it must be plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit. Have the installer show you where the electric circuit breaker is located.

The appliance is equipped with a flexible electrical supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected to a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the grounding prong.

Choosing Drawer Location

Carefully select the location where the warming drawer will be placed. It should be located for convenient use. When used outdoors, it is recommended to apply sealant to the outside of the case where it meets your outdoor cabinet/island structure to prevent water intrusion. There is also a gasket on the drawer face to prevent water intrusion at the front of the drawer.

Make sure that electrical power can be provided to the location selected. If possible, the receptacle should be accessible after the drawer is installed. The cord is about 47" [120 cm] long.

Preparation

1. See drawings on the following pages for clearance and cutout dimensions.
2. The warming drawer support surface must be a minimum 3/4" [19 mm] thick plywood platform. It must support 100 lbs. [45 kg]. If the unit is installed outdoors, the platform should be made of pressure-treated or marine-grade plywood, or other materials resistant to moisture and insect damage.
3. The platform must be solid, level, and flush with the bottom of the cabinet cutout. Additional interior structures may be needed to support this platform.
4. The cabinet must be secure against tipping when the drawer is opened. If necessary, install additional bracing at the rear of the cabinet.
5. For best performance results, make sure the platform is level before placing the warming drawer. Use shims under the unit as needed to level it. There is no way to level the warming drawer after it has been installed. If the installation is not level, the door may slide open or not seal tightly, allowing heat to escape, or water to enter.

ACAUTION: Use extreme caution when moving or installing the drawer. It is very heavy.

NOTICE: DO NOT LIFT THE WARMING DRAWER BY THE DRAWER HANDLE. Be very careful when moving or installing the warming drawer to avoid damage to the frame or cabinets.

If installing the warming drawer below another product, refer to that product's literature for any installation or clearance requirements.

Installation - Custom Drawer Front (-OV Models)

Custom Panel Requirements:

• Have a typical thickness of 3/4" [19 mm].
• Have all edges finished.
• If using wood, the back must be sealed to prevent moisture damage.
• Be capable of withstanding temperatures above 158°F [70°C].

Preparing Custom Drawer Front

1. Mark pilot holes on the back side of the panel according to the dimensions indicated in the drawing.
2. Drill pilot holes with a 3/32" [2.5 mm] drill bit. Be careful not to drill all the way through the panel. Pilot holes should only be 7/16" [11 mm] deep.

Attaching Custom Drawer Front

1. It may be easier to remove the drawer from the unit. Remove 8 screws from the top and bottom of the special frame. This will detach the frame from the assembly.
2. Mount the special frame onto your custom overlay panel. A typical overlay panel is 3/4" [19 mm] thick. A light pipe is supplied in the kit which helps the red indicator light on the control shine through the drawer face. The light pipe may be press-fit into the new hole you drilled into the overlay panel. If your overlay panel is less than 3/4" [19 mm] thick, you may trim the length of the light pipe as needed, but use caution as the optical material is brittle.
3. Install the completed overlay and frame to the drawer assembly and re-install the 8 screws you removed in step 1. Re-install the drawer if you removed it.
