Removing a Dacor warming drawer typically involves detaching the drawer from its rails and then accessing the mounting screws that secure the unit to the cabinet.
Here is a straightforward approach based on common methods and the provided information:
Steps to Remove Your Dacor Warming Drawer
To safely remove your Dacor warming drawer, follow these steps:
- Extend the Drawer: Begin by pulling the warming drawer fully out from the cabinet. This provides access to the drawer rails and the mechanisms holding it in place.
- Release the Drawer from the Rails: Locate the plastic tabs on the sides of the drawer rails. You will need to push these tabs to release the drawer from the rails it slides on. Once the tabs are disengaged, you should be able to lift or pull the drawer completely free from the rails attached to the cabinet.
- Remove the Entire Drawer: With the drawer detached from the rails, set it aside carefully. This step is crucial as it gives you access to the warming drawer unit itself, which is still installed in the cabinet opening.
- Locate and Remove Mounting Screws: Inspect the bottom or sides of the warming drawer unit remaining in the cabinet opening. There will be screws in these locations holding the entire warming drawer unit securely into the cabinets. Identify these screws and remove them using the appropriate screwdriver.
Once all the mounting screws are removed, the Dacor warming drawer unit can be carefully pulled out of the cabinet opening.
Important Considerations:
- Always ensure the power to the warming drawer is turned off at the circuit breaker before attempting any removal.
- Have an assistant to help support the unit when removing the final screws, as warming drawers can be heavy.
- Keep track of the screws removed to facilitate reinstallation if needed.
