5.1 Installation
Unpacking / Positioning
•Unpack the appliance, remove all external and internal packaging elements and
shipment safeguards.
CAUTION!
Choking hazard!
Prevent children from accessing package materials, for instance: plastic
bags and EPS.
•If the appliance is covered with a protective film, remove it. Remove the film
slowly, so no glue residues are left. Remove any glue residues with the use of a
suitable solvent.
•Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels fixed on the
appliance.
•Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
•Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that
they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
•The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
–even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant
to high temperatures;
–sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no
problems;
–easily accessible;
–well ventilated.
•Leave at least 20 cm clearance from flammable walls and items.

Installation and operation

Power supply connection
•Verify if technical data of the appliance (see rating plate) correspond with the
local electric power grid specification.
•Connect the appliance to a single, properly grounded mains socket with
protective contact. Do not connect the appliance to a multi-socket.
•The power cord should be laid in a way preventing anyone from threading on it
or tripping against it.
5.2 Operation

•Insertt he bottom co verint o the appliance. The cover acts as a spacer between t heh eating element an dl eft-over food tray.
•Carefully insert the con nection box with the heating element at the back edge o ft he appliance. A pin in botto m parto ft hec onnecti onb ox must enter a hole in the main ap pliance. This way the con nection box is properly mounted.
Preparation of the Appliance
1. Before use, clean the appliance, observing instructions in section 6'Cleaning'.
2. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Appliance Start-Up
1. Place the thermo-hygrometer in the
opening of the top glass pane.
Fig. 2
2. Place the water bowl in the designated
opening in the bottom baseplate.
3. Fill up the water bowl with water, if
necessary.
The water bowl serves the purpose of
generating steam.
4. Place GN container on four spacers of the
bottom baseplate.

Installation and operation
A203195 13 / 18
EN
NOTE!
Insert the enclosed 4 spacer sleeves onto spacers inside the appliance
only when any other GN container is to be used, which is deeper than the
enclosed GN container (depth of 2 cm). Owing to this distance extension,
you may use 4 cm deep GN containers.
5. Plug the appliance into a suitable single socket.
Settings
The appliance is equipped in 2 temperature controllers, one per upper and lower
heat.
The left-hand side temperature controller is provided for upper heat. You may
steplessly select the heating output in the range of 1–10. The left-hand side
indicator light for the upper heat lights up during the heating process.
With the use of the right-hand side temperature controller, you set the temperature
of the lower heat. You may steplessly select the heating output in the range of 1–
10. The right-hand side indicator light lights up during the heating process.
1. Before you place food products, set the temperature controllers of the upper and
lower heat to the highest setting (10), so that the appliance may heat up.
After approx. 20 minutes, the appliance reaches for the water bowl the operating
temperature of approx. 60°C. The temperature indicator of the thermo-hygrometer
shows approx. 45°C.
IN the final phase, the appliance reaches approx. 70°C with the indication of the
thermo-hygrometer to be approx. 60°C. The humidity display should indicate approx.
30%. Various humidity effects may be obtained with the use of manual settings:
–high humidity —reduce top heating
–lower humidity —reduce bottom heating
As soon as the set temperature is reached, indicator lights go off. When the
temperature inside the appliance drops, heating elements restart and the appliance
heats up again. Indicator lights are on again during the heating process.

Keeping Food Warm
WARNING!
During operation, the housing and baseplate surface become very hot and
remain hot for a while after switching the appliance off.
Do not touch the appliance during operation nor immediately after switching it off.
Cookware and containers heat up considerably during operation.
For removing or serving warm food use kitchen towels or protective gloves.
1. Now, as required, set the suitable temperature for the upper and lower heat.
2. In the meantime, prepare required warm food and fill the GN container with the
food.
The food will be kept warm, at the selected temperature, and for the required
period.
3. Use the handle to open the lifting door.
4. Remove the required food from the hot display unit and serve.
NOTE!
With very high water condensation spurred by the freshly placed and damp
products, glass panes may be subject of fogging for a while. Remove the
thermo-hygrometer from the opening in the top glass pane for the vapour to
escape.
Due to high temperature, the lifting door may bent slightly outwards, creating an
air gap. This is not a malfunction; this is normal. This creates a sort of draught,
which frees condensed water from the hot display unit.
5. After use, disconnect the appliance from the socket (pull the plug out).
