Safety
~Protect your hands with oven mitts
or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns.
~Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
clothing while using the warming
drawer. They may present a fire hazard.
~The floor of the drawer becomes hot
during use. Caution, do not touch. Use
the handle for opening and closing the
appliance.
~Do not store anything in the warming
drawer. Forgotten items could melt or
catch fire when the appliance is turned
on. Flammable liquids and materials
should never be stored in or above the
warming drawer.
~Food warmed for a long period of
time will dry out and could ignite. Make
sure food is not forgotten in the
warming drawer.
~It is possible that some bacterial
growth may occur in foods kept for
lengthy period of time at low
temperature levels.
~Do not warm fabrics in the drawer!
~Open and close the drawer carefully
so that items are not spilled. This will
also allow hot air or steam to escape.
~Do not heat unopened food
containers. Pressure can build up
causing an explosion that will damage
the cooking compartment. There is also
a danger of personal injury and
scalding.
~Before serving, be sure food is at a
safe temperature.
This is particularly important when
preparing food for babies and children.
~Never warm undiluted alcohol in the
warming drawer, this can easily ignite.
~Exercise caution when warming
food with a high sugar content. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelize or ignite.
~Be sure that the vents are not
covered. Food and tableware may not
warm evenly otherwise.
~Do not leave the warming drawer
unattended while in use.
~Do not use water on grease fires!
A violent steam explosion may result.
Smother the fire with a dry chemical or
foam fire extinguisher.
~Never add water to food in a hot
drawer. The steam created could cause
serious burns or scalds.
~Do not use the plate warmer to heat
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could be damaged.
~Do not replace the non-slip mat, e.g.
with a kitchen towel.

~Do not use plastic containers,
plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the
warming drawer. These items may melt
and cause damage to the warming
drawer or injury.

Tips
The warming drawer is intended for
keeping food warm directly after
preparation. It is not intended to
re-warm cold meals.
–To ensure that the minimum
temperature of 150°F (65°C) required
to keep food warm is met, select 2.
–Preheat the warming drawer for
approx. 15 minutes to guarantee that
the interior has risen to the desired
temperature.
–Place food into preheated tableware
before placing into the warming
drawer. Tip: Put tableware into the
warming drawer while it is
preheating.
– Do not cover foods which you would
like to keep crisp.
– Cover foods with a high moisture
content to avoid a "skin" from
forming.
–To avoid spillages do not over fill
tableware.
–Do not warm food for too long. Food
may be overcooked.
–Allow extra time for the temperature
to adjust after adding or checking on
food or dishes.

Tips
–Distribute tableware throughout the
entire drawer. Stacked plated will
heat up more slowly than individual
pieces. If stacking is unavoidable
please them in the front of the
drawer. Use the rack (depending on
model).
–Do not place platters right up against
the vents. They may cover the warm
air outlets, causing the tableware to
not heat evenly.
–For cups and glasses select on the /
function, this will ensure that the
max. temperature of 140°F (60°C) is
not exceeded.
– Heated tableware cools very quickly.
Remove it from the drawer right
before you need it.
Warming times
Various factors will affect the warming
times of tableware:
–type and thickness of the dishes,
–quantity,
–how the dishes are arranged, and
–the temperature setting.
As you use the drawer you will learn
which settings suit your needs best.
The following can be used as a
guideline:
When using the Hsetting, it will take
approx.
– 30 - 35 minutes for 6 place settings
to heat evenly.
– 40 - 45 minutes for 12 place settings
to heat up evenly.
