Correct use
~You could burn yourself on the hot drawer or crockery. Protect
your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling
hot dishes. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
~Do not store any plastic containers or inflammable objects in the
warming drawer. They could melt or catch fire when the appliance is
switched on, causing a fire hazard.
~Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the

appliance to heat up the room.
~Never replace the anti-slip mat supplied with the appliance with
paper kitchen towel or similar.
~If you overload the drawer, or sit or lean on it, the telescopic
runners will be damaged. The telescopic runners can support a
maximum load of 25 kg.
~If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door if the appliance is switched off.

Caring for the environment
11

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After
sales service, data plate" section of this booklet.
Cleaning and heating up for the first time
^Remove any protective foil and sticky labels.
^Remove the anti-slip mat from the drawer, and clean it with
warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Dry using a soft
cloth.
^Wipe the appliance inside and out with a damp cloth only,
and then dry with a soft cloth.
^Replace the anti-slip mat in the drawer.
^Then heat the empty drawer for at least two hours. Set the
temperature control to maximum (see "Selecting a
temperature").
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.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated whilst the appliance
is being heated up for the first time.
Before using for the first time
12

This appliance uses a hot air warming system. Heat given off
by a heating element is distributed evenly throughout the
drawer by a fan. The circulating air ensures that crockery is
heated evenly and quickly.
A protective grille protects you from touching either the fan or
the heating element.
The base of the drawer is fitted with an anti-slip mat which
stops crockery sliding about when the drawer is opened and
closed.
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 or oven gloves to remove
heated crockery from the drawer.
The maximum load capacity of the appliance is 25 kg .
Controls
The controls consist of a temperature dial and an On/Off
switch. They are only visible when the drawer is open.
When the drawer is shut, you can see from the in-operation
indicator on the front of the drawer if the drawer is switched
on.
Operation
13

Brief operating instructions
^Place the crockery inside the drawer.
^Select the temperature required.
^Switch on the appliance (j).
The switch lights up.
^Close the drawer.
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 selected 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
14

Heating up times
Various factors will affect the heating up times:
–The material and thickness of the crockery
–The amount of crockery
–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
