Overview

This document describes the Star Drawer Warmers (Models DW1, DWN1, DW2, DWN2, DW3, DWN3) with thermostatic controls, providing installation, operation, and maintenance instructions.

Function Description:

The Star Drawer Warmer is designed for commercial use to keep prepared foods warm. It utilizes thermostatic controls to maintain desired temperatures and offers options for both moist and dry heat environments. The unit can accommodate standard-size steam table pans and, when ordered with the Humitrol Rack, can provide moist heat by allowing water vapor to circulate through the stored product. The air vent control allows for adjustment between fully closed and half-open settings, depending on the desired humidity level for the food being warmed.

  • Heating Element: The units are equipped with heating elements (e.g., 120V 450W for DW1/DWN1).
  • Temperature Control: Features a thermostatic temperature control knob and a heating indicator light.

Usage Features:

  • Installation:
    • Requires a firm, level, non-combustible surface.
    • Adjustable legs or optional casters are installed on each corner. The unit must be level and all four legs must firmly contact the floor.
    • Drawers are installed by engaging the roller on the drawer with the cabinet drawer slide, raising the drawer to the horizontal position, and sliding it in until the catch engages.
    • Avoid storing flammable or combustible materials near the appliance.
  • Heating Options:
    • Moist Heat with Humitrol Rack (Optional): Remove the Humitrol Rack, pour approximately 2 quarts of water (1½" depth) into the drawer insert pan, then reinstall the rack. Place food directly on the rack. Periodically check and add water. Set the front air vent between fully closed and half-open.
    • Moist Heat with Pans: Place a small amount of water in the drawer pan, then place steam table pans containing food into the drawer pan. Periodically check and add water.
    • Dry Heat: Place food directly into the empty drawer pan (no water).
  • Operation:
    • Determine the food type and refer to the operating chart for recommended storage temperature, heat type, and air vent settings.
    • Rotate the thermostat knob to the desired temperature setting and adjust the air vent control.
    • Allow the warmer to pre-heat for approximately 30 minutes before use.
    • DOs: Always use a drawer pan, check water level frequently for moist operation, use a Humitrol Rack or insets for moist operation, and use warm water when adding to the pan.
    • DON'Ts: Do not place food directly into the warmer cavity, do not put ice into a warmer pan (condensation will occur and is not covered by warranty).
  • Safety: Exposed surfaces can be hot and cause burns. Do not splash or pour water onto the control panel or wiring. All servicing requiring access to non-insulated electrical components must be performed by a factory authorized technician.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning (Minimum - Daily):
    • Turn control knob to OFF and allow drawers to cool. Remove drawer pans and Humitrol racks.
    • Remove drawers: Pull the drawer out fully, press down on the latches located at the front end of the cabinet-mounted rails, and pull the drawer away.
    • Clean drawers, drawer pans, Humitrol Racks, and/or insets with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry all components before reinstalling.
    • Sweep crumbs and debris from the warmer cavity.
    • Clean the outside of the unit with a clean cloth or sponge, warm water, and mild detergent. Wipe with a polish formulated for stainless steel.
    • Keep slide rails clear and free from debris; periodic cleaning is necessary for smooth drawer operation.
    • Check drawer rollers for free movement and ensure slide rails are free from debris.
    • Ensure the cabinet-mounted drawer catch roller is "up" before reinstalling drawers.
    • Caution: Disconnect the appliance from electric power before cleaning.
  • Adjustments and Lubrication (Minimum - Monthly, Every 2 weeks recommended):
    • Turn control knob to OFF, unplug warmer, allow drawers to cool, and remove drawer pans and Humitrol racks.
    • Tools required: Screwdrivers (Phillips and flat blade), nut drivers (3/8" and 7/16"), and food-grade lubricant.
    • Check slides and rollers on cabinet and drawers for cleanliness and tightness. Lubricate rollers.
    • Check cabinet drawer stops for positive "snap" down operation. Clean and adjust as needed.
    • Check heating element fasteners for tightness.
    • Check cabinet drawer catches for tightness and operation. Lubricate and ensure the roller is "out" before installing a drawer.
    • Check the thermostat thermobulb and capillary tube for condition; ensure the thermobulb is securely mounted. Arrange repairs for damaged components.
    • Check drawer faceplate and handle fasteners for tightness.
    • Check drawer catch clip for tightness.
