warming drawer. This would dam-
age the telescopic runners. The drawer
can hold a maximum of 25 kg.
Do not store any plastic containers,
household foils and wraps or any
inflammable objects in the warming
drawer. They could melt or catch fire
when the appliance is switched on.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up the room. Due to the high tem-
peratures radiated, objects left near the
appliance could catch fire.

Functions
The plate warmer is intended exclu-
sively for heating croc ery.
Do not use the appliance to re-heat,
cook or keep food or drinks warm.
The condensation from the food /
drinks could lead to moisture dam-
age in the appliance.
The appliance operates with a hot air
system. A fan distributes the heat
around the drawer. The hot air circu-
lated heats up all the plates quickly and
evenly.
A protective grille prevents any contact
with the heating element and fan.
The rail in the drawer separates the
control panel, heating element and fan
from the rest of the drawer. This pre-
vents plates from being placed too near
the control panel and geting damaged
when the drawer is pushed in.
The floor of the plate drawer is fitted
with a non-slip mat to prevent plates
and dishes sliding about when the
drawer is opened and closed.
Control area
The controls consist of the temperature
control and the On / Off switch. These
are only visible when the drawer is
open.
Selecting a temperature
The temperature control is used to ad-
just the temperature setting.
Only turn the temperature control in
a clockwise direction and then back
again. Stop when you feel a resis-
tance. Forcing the control past this
point will damage it.
The heating will switch off automatically
when the temperature selected is
reached. It will switch back on again as
soon as the temperature drops below
this level.
Using the plate warmer

Atemperature range of between
approx. 30 and 80 °C can be set.
Items to be heated can be divided into
two general groups:
–Cups / glasses
–Serving dishes / plates
Recommended temperatures for
pre-heating:
–approx. 40 °C for cups or glasses.
A hot drink placed in a cup warmed
to this temperature will cool down
more slowly, while the cup itself can
be touched easily (i.e. it is not too
hot).
– approx. 60 °C for serving dishes or
plates.
Food will stay hot for a long time if it
is placed on plates heated to this
temperature and the plates will not
be too hot to hold when serving.
The temperatures settings are shown
as symbols rather than individual °C.
Each symbol represents the best set-
ting for the group shown:
–b: for cups and glasses
–r: for serving dishes, bowls and
plates
Switching on the appliance
The appliance is switched on using the
On / Off switch.
To switch on:
^Press the On / Off switch. The switch
will light up.
When the drawer is closed the indica-
tor on the front of the appliance lights
up to show the appliance is switched
on.
Capacity
The plate warmer is available in two
different heights:
– EGW 60x - 14: 141 mm high.
– EGW 60x - 29: 289 mm high.
The height determines the capacity of
the appliance.
The following loading examples are
given as a guide only.

Heating up times
Various factors will affect the heating up
times:
–material and thickness of the
crockery
–quantity
–how the crockery is arranged
–temperature setting
It is therefore not possible to state pre-
cise times.
However, the following information can
be used as a guide:
At temperature setting rof approx.
60 °C heating:
– the crockery listed for 6 people
will take approx. 30 - 35 minutes.
– the crockery listed for 12 people
will take approx. 40 - 45 minutes.
As you use the plate warmer you will
get to know which setting suits your
own needs best.
Hints on using the plate
warmer
Do not use the plate warmer to
re-heat, cook or keep food or drinks
warm. The condensation from the
food / drinks could lead to moisture
damage in the appliance.
Wear heat-resistant oven gloves
when handling hot crockery.
The maximum load for the drawer of
all models is 25 kg irrespective of
height.
Do not stand plates up directly in
front of the rail.
When the drawer is closed, these
will block the vents for the heated air
and prevent the crockery from heat-
ing up evenly.
To pre-heat crockery:
^Place the crockery in the drawer.
^Select the required temperature set-
ting.
^Switch on the appliance (j).
^Close the drawer.
The indicator on the front of the appli-
ance lights up to show that the appli-
ance has been switched on.
Switch the appliance off (k), before re-
moving the heated crockery.

appliances pay particular attention to
the following cleaning instructions.
Aluminium fronted appliances
Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls it, by the surrounding environ-
ment and by the angle you observe it
from.
Aluminium surfaces and controls
may suffer discolouration or damage
if soiling is left on them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.
The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda, ac-
ids or chlorides,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-
der cleaners and cream cleaners.
