HOW THE CROCKERY WARMER WORKS
This appliance is equipped with a warm air
circulation system. A fan distributes the heat
generated by an electrical heating element
throughout the interior of the appliance.
The thermostat allows the user to define and
control the temperature wanted for the
crockery.
The circulating hot air that is generated heats
up the crockery quickly and evenly.
A metal grille protects both the heating
element and the fan.
The base of the drawer is fitted with a anti-
slip mat to prevent plates and dishes sliding
around, when the drawer is opened and
closed.

USE
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST
TIME
Before using the appliance for the first time
you should clean the interior and the exterior,
following the cleaning instructions given in
the section “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Then heat the Warming Drawer for at least 2
hours. For this, turn the temperature control
to the maximum position (see section
‘Selecting temperature”).
Make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated when
you are doing this.
The appliance’s parts are protected by a
special product. For this reason, during the
first heating an odour will be released. Both
the odour and any smoke that may form will
disappear after a short time and neither
signifies that there is anything wrong with the
connection or the appliance.
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel has a Thermostat and
on/off switch. The control panel is only visible
when the drawer is open.
USING THE WARMING DRAWER
To use the Warming Drawer, proceed as
follows:
Put the crockery in the drawer.
Select the function you want by turning the
thermostat control to the desired position.
Switch on the appliance by pressing the
switch, which will light up.
Close the drawer.
Be careful not to use too much force when
closing the drawer since it may open up
again. Before taking out the warm crockery
you must switch off the Warming Drawer by
pressing the switch again.
SELECTING FUNCTION
By turning the thermostat control you can
select temperatures between 30 and 80 °C.
Do not force the thermostat control to the left
of the “0” position or to the right of the
maximum position since this may damage
the appliance.
As soon as the temperature selected is
reached, the heating is turned off. When the
temperature drops to a value below that
selected, the heating is turned back on.
The temperature scale is marked with
absolute temperatures in ºC and symbols
which correspond to the optimum
temperatures for groups of crockery:

30ºC Defrosting

HEATING TIMES
Various factors affect heating times:
Material and thickness of the crockery;
Load quantity;

Temperature setting.
It is therefore not possible to give any precise
heating times.
As you use the Warming Drawer more and
more you will learn the best settings for your
crockery.

given for the thermostat setting and for
uniform heating of the crockery:

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning is the only maintenance action
that is required normally.
WARNING!
Cleaning must be done with the
Warming Drawer disconnected from the
electrical power supply. Remove the plug
from the power socket or disconnect the
Warming Drawer power supply circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products, abrasive sponges or
pointed objects since stains or abrasion
marks may appear.
Do not use high pressure or steam jet
cleaning appliances.
APPLIANCE FRONT AND
CONTROL PANEL
The Warming Drawer can be cleaned
using just a damp cloth. If it is very dirty,
add a few drops of washing-up liquid to
the washing water.
Wipe the surfaces dry using a dry cloth.
For stainless steel fronted Warming
Drawers, special products for treatment
of stainless steel surfaces can be used.
These products prevent the surfaces
becoming dirty again for some time.
Apply a thin layer of such a product on
the surface using a soft cloth.
On aluminium fronted Warming Drawers
use a gentle glass cleaning product and
a soft cloth that does not release fluff.
Wipe horizontally without pressing on the
surface since aluminium is sensitive to
scratches and cuts.
INTERIOROF THE WARMING
DRAWER
Clean the inside of the Warming Drawer
regularly using a damp cloth. If it is very
dirty add a few drops of washing-up
liquid to the washing water.
Wipe the surfaces dry using a dry cloth.
Avoid water entering through the air
circulation opening.
Only use the Warming Drawer again
when it is completely dry.
ANTI-SLIP MAT
The anti-slip surface mat can be
removed to facilitate cleaning of the
drawer.
The mat can be cleaned by hand using
hot water with a few drops of washing-up
liquid. Dry thoroughly.
The anti-slip mat should only be replaced
when it is completely dry.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE CROCKERY WARMER
DOESN’T WORK?
WARNING!
Any type of repair must only be
done by a specialised technician.

The appropriate temperature has
been selected.
The air circulation orifices are
covered by the crockery.
The crockery was left to heat up for
sufficient time.
Heating time depends on several
factors, such as, for example:
Crockery material type and thickness.
Quantity of crockery.
How the crockery is arranged.
The crockery doesn’t heat up at all.
Check whether:
You can hear the noise of a fan.If the
fan is operating then the heating
element is broken; if the fan is not
operating then the fan is broken.
The switchboard fuses / circuit
breakers have fused / tripped out.
The crockery is heating up too much,
check if:
The thermostat selector is broken.
The on/off switch does not light up,
check if:
The switch’s pilot light has blown.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Check that the input voltage indicated on the
characteristics plate is the same as the
voltage of the power outlet you are going to
use.
Minimum fuse rating: 5 Amps.
Open the drawer and take out all the
accessories and remove the packing material.
WARNING!
The front surface of the Warming Drawer may
be wrapped in a protective film. Before using
the Warming Drawer for the first time, remove
this film carefully.
Make sure that the Warming Drawer is not
damaged in any way. Check that the drawer
opens and closes correctly. If you find any
damage, contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
ATTENTION:
The power socket should be easily accessible
after the Warming Drawer has been installed.
The Warming Drawer should only be built-in
in combination with those appliances
indicated by the manufacturer. If it is fitted in
combination with other appliances, the
guarantee is no longer valid since it is
impossible to guarantee that the Warming
Drawer will work correctly.
INSTALLATION
To build-in the Warming Drawer in
combination with another appliance there
must be a fixed,interim shelf in the housing
unit to support the weight of both appliances.
The appliance to be combined with the
Warming Drawer will be placed directly on the
latter without any need to have a separating
shelf.
To build-in the appliance which is combined
with the Warming Drawer, follow the
instructions set out in the respective
instructions and fitting booklet.
The relevant installation dimensions are
indicated in mm in the diagrams shown at the
end of this booklet. Proceed as follows:
1. Place the Warming Drawer on the shelf
and slide it towards the interior of the niche
in such a way thatit is centred and
completely lined up with the front of the
unit.
2. Check that the Warming Drawer’s frame is
properly levelled and is sitting evenly on
the shelf.
3. Open the drawer and fix the Warming
Drawer to the sides of the unit using the
provided screws.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The product should only be installed by a
suitably qualified person. The product must
be installed in accordance with all local
regulations. Before connecting the Warming
Drawer to the electric mains, check that the
voltage and frequency of the mains matches
which is shown on the rating plate located
in the heating block inside.

14
The electric connection is made via an
omnipolar switch, which is suitable for the
intensity to be tolerated and which has a
minimum gap of 3mm between its contacts,
which will ensure disconnection in case of
emergency or when cleaning the Warming
Drawer.
If a plug is used for the electric connection,
then it must be accessible after installation.
The connection should include correct
earthing, in compliance with current norms.
WARNING:
THE WARMING DRAWER MUST BE
EARTHED.
If the flexible supply cable fitted to the
Warming Drawer ever needs to be changed,
it should be replaced by an official After Sales
Service, because it requires special tools.
The manufacturer and retailers do not accept
responsibility for any damage that may be
caused to people, animals or property if these
installation instructions are not observed.
