IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power
outlet to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with pro-
tective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating
of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appli-
ance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 10 A) to avoid interference with other
appliances. The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.)
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electri-
cal circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further
information.
20
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to
incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries
do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before ope-
rating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, extension cord, or
remote control systems.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of power plugs must be smooth
and clean. Always completely unwind power cords before use. Do not place the
appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled,
strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of
the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges.
Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to
entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord.
Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands, when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on or in the appliance or power cord. Do not
immerse the appliance or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not place the
appliance on wet surfaces. When liquids overflowed or are spilled on the appli-
ance, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean and dry the appliance
and let it dry naturally for at least 1 day. See: “Care and Cleaning”. Do not place
the appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
• The »Design Warming Tray« is designed for warm-keeping edible
food in appropriate containers. For this purpose, the appliance is hea-
ted electrically. Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries and damage.
Please keep this in mind to avoid scalds and damage.
• Even the exterior of the appliance and the handles can be very hot during opera-
tion and up to 1/2 hour thereafter. Do not touch the hot surfaces with any parts
or your body or any heat-sensitive objects. Only touch the appliance and its parts
at the temperature control dial during operation and thereafter.
• Always leave the appliance cool down before moving or cleaning the appliance.
Do not move the appliance or place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces,
when it is still hot.
• To avoid risk of explosion and fire: DO NOT heat any high-proof alco-
holic liquid or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine, grog) on the
appliance. Do not pour any alcoholic liquid on the appliance. During
operation do not place the appliance near any objects containing high-
ly inflammable gases or liquids (e.g. spirit, propane gas cylinder, gas
lighter).

OPERATION
WARNING: Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accessories
are out of reach of young children. Your new »Design Warming Tray« is inten-
ded for warm-keeping edible food in pans, pots and heat-resistant dishes / bowls.
Thus, the heating plate and even the exterior and handles will become very hot duri-
ng operation. During operation and several minutes thereafter only touch the appli-
ance at the temperature control dial to avoid scalds. Do not move the appliance,
when it is still hot.
During operation DO NOT place the appliance near any inflammable or explosive
liquids or gases (e.g. spirit, propane gas cylinder, or gas lighter). Additionally, do
not place the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces or over power cords during ope-
ration, to avoid damage due to overheating and risk of fire and electric shock.
The appliance is NOT intended for heating up food directly. Do not place any food
directly onto the heating plate. Use heat-resistant containers or cooking pots/pans.
Keep in mind that the containers of your food may be hot after being heated on the
heating plate. Protect your hands accordingly, before removing any items from the
heating plate.
Only place the appliance on a stable, dry, level, heat-resistant and clean surface.
The appliance may not wobble, tilt or slip on the table or counter. Do not place the
appliance on inclined surfaces where it can fall over and/or fall down, or any con-
tainers will slip down from the heating plate. Do not place the appliance on glass
or stone, as these materials could crack due to local heating. Do not place any clo-
thes or tissue or other foreign objects on or under the appliance during operation,
23
