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 dierences on the front of the appliance are due to the

detergent. Dry thoroughly.
•Refit the glass base in the drawer only when completely dry.

•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
