What to Do

1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and

grounding of the appliance by a qualified

technician according to the accompanying

Installation Instructions. Have the installer

show you where the fuse or junction box is

located so that you know how and where to

turn off power.

2. Ensure that the warming oven is used

only by those individuals who are able to

operate it properly.

3. Use the warming oven only for tasks

expected at home as outlined in this

manual.

4. Properly clean and maintain the warming

oven as recommended in this manual.

wire rack supplied with the product. Lay the rack

on the drawer bottom and secure it, with the clip

and screw, to the inside of the drawer.

[ What Not to Do i

1. Do not use the warming oven for warming

or heating the room.

2. Never allow children to sit or stand on

any part of the warming oven. Do not let

Timer and Manual On/Off Switch I

The warming oven is equipped with an

automatic shut-off timer and a manual On/Off

pushbutton switch.

Automatic Shut-off Timer

The automatic shut-off timer is located on the

left side of the control bezel. It can be set for

durations from 15 minutes to four hours. This

safety feature eliminates the possibility of

accidentally leaving the warmer on for extended

periods of time. After selecting the temperature,

turn the timer knob clockwise to the desired

duration. This causes the warming oven to heat.

After the temperature and time are selected, the

red Indicator Light, located between the knobs

on the control bezel, goes on. If the set time

expires or the temperature knob is turned to the

"OFF" position, the light goes out and the oven

stops heating.

_ NOTE:

The "ON" light will cycle on and off during

warming. When the "ON" light is on the heating

element is also on.

Manual On/Off Switch

The manual on/off pushbutton switch is located

between the knobs of the control bezel and

houses the red "ON Indicator Light". The

automatic shut-off timer can be bypassed

with the use of the manual switch, placing the

Warming Oven in a constant "ON" mode.

_ WARNING:

In the manual "ON" position, the Warming Oven

will remain on until the manual switch is turned

off. Exercise caution when operating the unit in

this mode.

_NOTE:

The automatic shut-off timer should be kept in

the "OFF" postion when using the manual on/off

switch. If the oven is in manual "ON" mode, and

the timer is activated and the manual switch

turned off, the unit will continue to heat the

food until the timer turns the oven off. This can

overheat your food.

ISetting the Temperature

The temperature control knob is located on

the right side of the control bezel, immediately

behind the warming oven drawer front. The

temperature is controlled by a thermostat

that cycles power to the heating element.

The temperature settings range from a low of

approximately !00°F ("LO" setting) to a high of

approximately 200F ("HI" setting).

IPreheating he Warming Oven

For best results, always preheat your warming

oven. Placing hot food into a cool, confined area

results in condensing of any steam that may be

present. Preheating your warming oven reduces

the likelihood of condensation. Preheat times

vary for "LO", to "H!". Position the Moist, Crisp

slide at the "MOIST" setting for more efficient

preheating.

ISelecting Humiduty Control

(Not available on the IWO or IOWO

models)

The warming oven has two distinct modes

of operation. One, 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 warming oven, retaining the crispness of

other food types. The Moist,Crisp Slide opens

and closes vents located on the inside of the

drawer front. In the crisp setting, the vents allow

steam to escape out the sides of the drawer

front, thereby reducing the moisture content of

the warming chamber. In the moist setting, the

closed vents retain the moisture in the warming

oven.

_ WARNING:

Do not obstruct the vents on the inside of the

drawer and along the left and right sides of the

drawer. Excessive heat buildup can occur.

NOTE:

Integrated models (IWO and IOWO) do not

include Moist,Crisp Controls.

The slide control is located inside the drawer. To

select the moist option, slide the control toward

the[_icon. For the crisp setting, slide the

control toward the[_icon. The slide can also

be positioned anywhere between the moist and

crisp settings.

IlWarming of Serving Containers 1

To warm plates, and other serving containers,

place them carefully into the warming oven and

set the temperature anywhere between "LO" and

4, depending upon your personal preference.

Do not drag plates across the drawer, as they

may scratch the drawer surface. Before using

any delicate dinnerware in the warming oven,

determine its recommended maximum usage

temperature from the plate manufacturer. It is

not necessary to preheat the unit when warming

serving dishes. Plastic wrapping on plates may

be used. This is effective in keeping foods hot

and moist.

[_ WARNING:

Food safety is an important consideration when

using a warming oven. Below a setting of 4,

some bacterial growth may occur. Settings of

2 or less should not be used if holding certain

foods for more than two to three hours.

IIDrawer Slides i

The warming oven features slides positioned on

each side of the drawer. They allow the drawer

to slide in and out smoothly, while enabling easy

removal of the drawer from the warming oven

chassis for thorough cleaning. No maintenance

to the slides is required. The drawer and slides

have a maximum load capacity of 50 pounds.

IkRemov,ngtheDrawer 1

Allow the drawer to cool before attempting to

remove it. Pull the drawer out to the fully open

position. While lifting locking tab, push the slide

immediately below the locking tab back about

one inch, toward the back of th oven enclosure

(2). Repeat on the opposite side. The drawer

may now be removed by gripping the drawer on

each side and lifting.

[ Warming of Serving Containers i

Pull the slide rails out of the warming oven

chassis. Gently lower the drawer between the

extended slides until the drawer is suspended

by the slide rails. Pull one slide forward until

the locking tabs click into place. Repeat for the

slide on the opposite side. The drawer is now re-

installed. Gently open, then close the drawer, to

ensure that it has been properly situated.

I Control Bezel and Control Knobs

Clean these parts with a solution of mild

detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a

soft cloth. It is recommended that the knobs

and control panel be left in place for cleaning.

Exercise caution to avoid introduction of liquids

into the area behind the control panel. Do not

use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they may

permanently damage the finish or remove the

silk-screened graphics.

[Moist, Crisp Control I

Clean the Moist,Crisp grip with a solution of mild

detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a

soft cloth.

I Drawer Handle I

Clean the drawer handle with a solution of mild

detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a

soft cloth.

{_ WARNING:

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR

SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY

DAMAGE THE FINISH.

Glass Surfaces

Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild

detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass

cleaner to remove fingerprints or smears. Dry

completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

IIDrawer.and,e I

If commercially available stainless

steel cleaners are used, it is important

to read the labels for the presence of

chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive

substance. If these compounds are present,

rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free

cloth.

Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the

direction of the grain.

I[Brass and Chrome Surfaces I

Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild

detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and polish

with a soft, lint-free cloth. If a commercially

available polish is used, it is important to

read the label for the presence of chlorine

compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance

and is not recommended for use with brass

or chrome finishes. If these compounds are

present, rinse surface thoroughly and dry with a

soft, lint-free cloth.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for

application of polish.

I[Painted Surfaces I

For the front faces of warming ovens with a

painted finish, clean with a solution of mild

detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with

a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or

scrubbers. They may permanently damage the

finish.

IrGasket I

Gently clean the gasket, located on the front

frame, with a solution of mild detergent and hot

water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Be careful

not to crush or damage the soft gasket material.

Maintaining an effective heat seal is necessary

to ensure maximum warming oven performance.
