Operating Instructions

WARNING
· When the warming drawer is on in continuous mode (), it will remain on until turned off manually. to avoid a fire hazard or burns, exercise caution when operating the unit in continuous mode.
· Do not block the humidity vents on the back of the drawer front and along the left and right sides of the drawer. excessive heat buildup can occur.
· food safety is an important consideration when using a warming drawer. In the ProoF and loW temperature settings, bacteria growth may occur. use the meD and HIGH settings if holding certain foods for more than two to three hours.
Things to Know Before You Start
preheating
· for best results, preheat your warming drawer for about 20 minutes before use. If you put hot food into a cool, confined area, any steam that is present will condense. If you preheat your warming drawer, there will be less chance of water due to condensation. preheat times vary depending on the temperature setting.
humidity Control
· the warming drawer has two distinct humidity modes. the "moIst" setting seals the food's moisture in the warming chamber, maintaining the water content of the food. the "CrIsP" setting allows the moisture to vent out of the sides of the warming drawer, retaining the crispness of other food types. the moIst · CrIsP lever opens and closes vents located on the inside of the drawer front.
· Do not block the humidity vents any time you operate your warming drawer.

Operation
the warming drawer is equipped with four temperature settings and a timer that can be set for one, two, three or four hours. the warming drawer can also be set for continuous operation. See the table on the facing page for suggested settings for different foods.
to turn the unit on:
1. Select the humidity level. Slide the lever located on the back of the drawer face to the desired position. to increase humidity inside the drawer, slide the lever closer to the moIst symbol. to decrease humidity inside the drawer, slide the lever closer to the CrIsP symbol. the lever can also be positioned anywhere between the moIst and CrIsP settings.
2. push the on/oFF key.
3. push the key for the desired temperature setting.
