The control parts are the temperature knob and the luminous ON-OFF switch.
With the switch pressed (position 1) the drawer is on, whereas with the switch released (position 0) the
drawer is off.
These parts are visible only when the drawer is open.
When the drawer is closed, a control light on the front of the appliance indicates if the drawer is switched on.
OPERATION
- Place the dishes in the drawer
- Set a temperature
- Switch the appliance on; the switch lights up
- Close the drawer gently

SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
The temperature knob enables a temperature adjustment of between approx. 30°C and 85°C.
Turn the temperature knob all the way clockwise to max. and then anticlockwise.
Do not force it past the stop, otherwise the thermostat will be damaged.
The temperature scale does not indicate the absolute temperature values in °C, but gives symbols that
represent the optimum temperature for the respective dish group.

WARMING TIMES
The time necessary for warming dishes, glasses, etc. depends on various factors:
• Material and thickness of the dishes
• Load amount
• Load arrangement
• Temperature setting
Therefore exact indications cannot be provided.
It is advisable to find the required optimum settings by practical experience.
LOAD CAPACITY
The load capacity depends on the height of the appliance and the size of the dishes.
The following load examples are only a guide.

electrical mains.
The data must match, otherwise the appliance
could become damaged.
In case of doubts, contact a qualified technician.
Make sure the socket can be easily accessed even
after the appliance has been fitted.
The dish warmer can only be fitted in combination
with other appliances not weighing more than 40 kg
and provided with adequate cooling ventilation.
Otherwise, the right to the warranty is invalidated,
since correct use cannot be guaranteed.
For combined appliance installation comply with

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Contact a qualified technician to carry out the
appliance electrical connection.
Important: Before connecting the drawer to the
domestic power supply to check its operation,
always make sure the drawer power cable is
correctly fitted and NOT squashed or caught under
or behind the drawer or a combined appliance.
Important: Power cable replacement must be
made with a cable having the same characteristics
as that supplied by the Manufacturer (type H05RR-
F, 3x1 mm2or higher) and carried out by the After-
Sales Service or a qualified technician.
Before connecting the appliance to the power
supply, make sure that the technical specifications
(voltage: V and frequency: Hz) given on the rating
plate match those of the power mains.
In case of doubt, contact a qualified technician.
If the plug is removed from the power cable, contact

appliance. Contact an electrician aware of the local
regulations and the electricity company's regulations,
ensuring that the work is carried out in compliance
with the same.
Important: Make sure the appliance is connected
to an approved earth wire, to guarantee electrical
safety. If necessary, have the system checked by a
specialised technician.
The Manufacturer declines any liability for injury
and damage due to the lack or interruption of the
earth wire.
Important: The earth connection is
compulsory by law.
If the appliance is connected to the power supply by
means of an extension cord, make sure the cord
and connection are insulated against moisture.
The appliance is designed to be used only when
correctly fitted.
Never open the appliance casing. In case of contact
with live wires or if the electrical and mechanical
structure of the appliance is modified, an appliance
fault may occur when it is used.
If the installation, maintenance or repair works are
not carried out correctly, there may be risks for the
user. The Manufacturer declines any liability for
damage or injury in such cases.
During the warranty period, repairs must only be
carried out by the authorised technical service,

If connection is not made by means of an electrical
socket, contact an electrician aware of the local
regulations and the electricity company's regulations,
ensuring that the work is carried out in compliance
with the same.
If the socket is no longer accessible after fitting the
appliance or if a fixed connection is provided for, a

CARE AND CLEANING
Important: Never use high pressure water or
steam cleaners.
Also, do not use: detergents containing soda,
acids or chlorides, abrasive detergents (in powder
or lotion), abrasive sponges (e.g. steel wool) or
sponges containing residuals of abrasive detergents,
descaling detergents, dishwasher detergents, oven
sprays.
Warming drawer exterior
•Clean with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a
few drops of dish washing detergent to the
water. Dry with a dry cloth.
•Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, as
they can create dull areas.
If any of these products accidentally comes into
contact with the warming drawer, immediately
clean the appliance with a damp cloth.
•Slight colour differences on the front of the
appliance are due to the use of different
materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
Aluminium front panel (depending on the
model)
•Use a mild detergent and a soft window cleaning
cloth or a microfibre cloth that does not leave
fibres on the surface. Wipe horizontally, without
pressing.
•Do not use corrosive products, hard sponges or
rough cloths for cleaning. Clean the aluminium
surfaces with a dry cloth.
Antislip drawer base (depending on the
model)
•The antislip drawer base can be pulled out to
clean the bottom of the drawer.
The base can be washed by hand with hot water
and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
Refit the antislip base in the drawer only when
completely dry.
Vitroceramic drawer base (depending on
the model)
It is advisable to clean the bottom of the drawer
after every use, making sure to allow it to cool. In
this way grime will not accumulate and cleaning is
easier.
•Use a clean cloth, absorbent paper and dish
hand-wash detergent, or specific products for
cleaning the vitroceramic top.
•Remove stubborn cooking grime with specific
products.
•Remove any food residuals left on the
vitroceramic top; do not leave to harden.
•Foods with a high sugar-content (coffee, fruit
juice, jam, etc.) that have boiled over or any sugar
stains due to cooking must be immediately
removed.
•Do not use abrasive products, bleach, oven
cleaning sprays or steel wool.
It is advisable to periodically treat the vitroceramic
with the special waxes available on the market.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If the dishes or food (depending on the model)
are not warm enough, make sure:
•the appliance is on
•the right temperature has been set
•the heat openings are not covered by large dishes
or soup-plates
•the dishes have been warmed for a long enough
time.
Different factors affect the warming time, e.g.:
- the material and thickness of the dishes, the load
amount and its arrangement, temperature
setting.
- Optimum dish warming times are subjective,
therefore it is advisable to carry out trials to
define them according to needs.
