USEFUL INFORMATION
The appliance is designed exclusively for the heating of dishes which are suited for this
purpose.
The appliance is equipped with a hot air system. A fan creates excellent distribution of
warmth from the drawer heating element. Air circulation heats the dishes evenly and
quickly.
A protection grille prevents contact with the heating element and the fan.
The base of the drawer is covered with anti-slip material to keep the dishes from moving
when it is opened or closed.

maximum setting in order to eliminate any residual grease, oil, or manufacturing resins
which may cause unpleasant odours during heating.
Air out the room.
Upon completion of this operation, the appliance is ready to be used for the first time.
APPLIANCE CONTROLS
The control elements are the temperature knob and the luminous ON-OFF switch.
With the switch pressed (position 1) the drawer is on, whereas when the switch is
released (position 0) the drawer is off. These parts can only be seen when the drawer is
open.
When the drawer is closed, a control light located on the front of the appliance allows you
to see if the warmer drawer is on.

Various factors affect heating time, for example:
Material and thickness of dishes, size of load, arrangement of load, temperature setting.
Optimal heating times for dishes are subjective. Therefore, it is advisable to determine them
on a trial and error basis according to your own preferences.
For the following problems contact a qualified technician or technical service centre:
If the dishes do not get warm, check whether:
•If there is fan noise: the fan is working, but the heating element might be defective
•If the fan is not working, it may be defective
•The main switch of the electrical system is off.
•The electrical power cable is unplugged or damaged.
If the dishes overheat:
•The temperature setting device may be defective.
The on/off switch does not light up when the appliance is switched on:
•The control light of the switch is defective.
