Never place food directly on thenon-slip mat or the racks. Alwayswarm food on a dish.
Do not add water to food or place acontainer with water in the warmingdrawer. Additional water will makefood soggy and may cause machinedamage.
Take care when opening and closingthe loaded drawer to prevent spills.
^ If necessary adjust the settings.
^ Close the drawer.
Keep the drawer closed while in use toprevent food from drying out. Remem-ber, food may continue to cook whilebeing warmed in the drawer.
