the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested, and where there is any doubt
the electrical system in the house is
checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

General notes
The plate warmer is intended
exclusively for heating crockery.
It uses a hot air warming system. A fan
distributes heat given off by a heater
element evenly throughout the drawer.
The circulating air ensures that
crockery is heated evenly and quickly.
A protective grille protects you from
touching either the fan or the heating
elements.
The base of the drawer is fitted with a
non-slip mat which stops crockery
sliding about when the drawer is
opened and closed.
Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Before using for the first time proceed
as follows:
^Wipe the appliance with a damp
cloth only, and then dry with a soft
cloth.
^Then heat the empty drawer for at
least two hours. Set the temperature
control to maximum (see "Selecting a
temperature").
It is important to ensure that the room is
well ventilated.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance defect.
Before using for the first time
9

Do not use the appliance to re-heat,
cook or keep food or drinks warm.
Condensation from the food or
drinks could lead to corrosion in the
appliance.
Always use heat-resistant gloves to
remove heated crockery from the
drawer.
The load bearing capacity of the
appliance, irrespective of its height,
is 25 kg maximum.
Controls
The controls consist of a temperature
dial and an On/Off switch. These are
only visible when the drawer is open.
When the drawer is closed, you can tell
when the appliance is switched on
because the On/Off switch illuminates
through the hole in the front of the
drawer.
Operation
10

Using the drawer
^Place crockery inside the drawer.
^Select the temperature required.
^Switch on the appliance (j).
The switch lights up.
^Close the drawer gently: if you use
too much force, it can spring open
again.
^Switch the appliance off (k) before
removing the heated crockery.
Selecting a temperature
The temperature dial allows you to
select any temperature between
approx. 30 and 80 °C.
The temperature dial must only be
turned in a clockwise direction as far
as it will go and then back again.
Do not turn it too far as this will
damage it.
When the temperature is reached, the
heating element switches itself off.
When the temperature falls below that
selected, the heating element switches
on again automatically.
The temperature scale around the dial
is shown in symbols rather than in °C.
The symbols represent the most
suitable temperature for the type of
crockery depicted:
–bapprox. 40 °C
for cups or glasses.
Drinks poured into warmed cups do
not cool down so quickly. At the
same time, the cups will not get too
hot to handle.
–rapprox. 60 °C
for serving dishes and plates.
Food stays warm for longer if served
in pre-heated dishes. The dishes will
not get too hot to handle.
Operation
11

Heating up times
Various factors will affect the heating up
times:
–the material and thickness of the
crockery
–the quantity
–how the crockery is arranged
–the temperature setting.
It is therefore not possible to state
precise times.
However, the following information can
be used as a guide:
Temperature setting ris approx.
60 °C. Evenly heated crockery will take
about:
– 30 - 35 minutes
for 6 place settings.
– 40 - 45 minutes
for 12 place settings.
As you use the plate warmer, you will
get to know which setting suits your

Safety instructions for
installation
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
The socket and on-off switch
should be easily accessible after
the appliance has been built in.

in in combination with those
appliances quoted by the manufacturer
as being suitable. The manufacturer
cannot guarantee trouble-free operation
if the appliance is operated in
combination with appliances other than
those quoted by the manufacturer as
being suitable.
When building in the plate warmer
in combination with another
suitable appliance, the plate warmer
must be fitted above a fixed interim
shelf in the housing unit to ensure that
the housing unit can support both its
weight and that of the other appliance.
As the combination appliance is
