caramelize or ignite.
~Be sure that the vents are not
covered. Food and tableware may not
warm evenly otherwise.

~The "Keep food warm" operating
mode must be only used for keeping
hot food warm, but not for heating cold
food. Ensure that the food is sufficiently
heated before you place it in the
appliance.

Select only the 2operating mode
to ensure that the required minimum
temperature (150 °F / 65 °C) for
keeping food warm is maintained.
This mode is for keeping food that has
just been cooked warm, that is, food
that is still hot. It is not intended for
reheating food that is cold.
^Select 2.
^Select the desired duration.
^Preheat the appliance for 15 minutes

^Place hot food on warmed dishes.
^Replace the dishes in the drawer,
and carefully close the drawer to
prevent liquid food from spilling.
Tips
–Fill the hot food into pre-warmed
dishes. Put the dishes into the
drawer during preheating.
–Do not cover roasted or fried food
that should be crispy. Keep these
foods warm at a higher temperature.
–Moist and liquid foods, and those
that may generate a skin, should be
covered with aluminum foil or a plate.
–Do not overfill dishes to prevent
spilling.
– Freshly prepared food is hotter than
food kept warm. Serve food kept
warm on warmed plates.
– Loss of nutrients begins with the
preparation of the food and
continues while it is being kept warm.
The longer food is kept warm, the
greater the loss of nutrients.
– It is not recommended to keep food
warm over a longer period of time, as
it will continue to cook.
–Do not use force when opening or
closing the drawer. Liquid may spill
from the containers and enter the
ventilation slots.
–The food may cool down if the
drawer is opened frequently.

–Try to distribute the dishes over the
entire surface. High stacks of plate
will warm up slower than individual
dishes. If you cannot avoid plate
stacks, place them in the front of the
appliance. Use the rack (if provided
with your model).
–Do not place large platters vertically
in front of the venting slots. They will
cover the outlets for the warm air.
The dishes won't be warmed up
evenly.
–For cups and glasses, use only the
Hmode to ensure that the maximum
temperature (140 °F / 60 °C) is not
exceeded.
– Warmed dishes will quickly lose their
heat. Remove them only immediately
prior to use.
Warming times
Various factors can affect the heating
time:
–Material and thickness of your dishes
–Load size
–Load distribution
–Temperature setting
Use the following values as guidelines:
When set to H, even warming requires
the times shown in the list below:
–Place settings for 6 persons
approx. 30 - 35 minutes
– Place settings for 12 persons
approx. 40 - 45 minutes
– With time you will get to know the
optimum settings for your household.

,Repairs should only be carried out by an authorized technician in
accordance with local and national safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs
could cause injury or appliance damage.
What if the drawer does not heat?
Possible fault Solution
There is no power to the warming
drawer.
Insert the plug into the outlet.
The circuit breaker has tripped. Reset the circuit breaker. If in doubt
contact an electrician.
What if the food is not warm enough?
Adjust the temperature setting. Check that the vents have not been blocked by
large plates or dishes.
What if the food or dishes are too hot?
Check the temperature setting and make sure the food is not too close to the
heating element.
What if the dishes are not warm enough?
Possible fault Solution
The wrong temperature was selected. Check the temperature setting.
