► THE DRAWER IS DESIGNED TO KEEP HOT FOOD WARM AND NOT TO WARM FOOD
UP. ENSURE FOOD IS ALREADY REALLY HOT WHEN PLACED
► You could burn yourself on the hot drawer or crockery. Protect your hands with heat-resistant
pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. 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 flammable 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 when it is in use could
catch fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room.
► Never place paper kitchen towels or similar in the base of the appliance.
► 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 25kg.
► 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.
► Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the drawer, as pressure will build up in the tin
or jar causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
► The underside of the drawer gets hot when switched on. Be careful not to touch it when the
drawer is open.
► Do not use plastic or aluminum containers. These melt at high temperatures and could catch
fire. Use only heat-resistant crockery made of glass, porcelain, etc.
► Take care when opening and closing the loaded drawer, that liquids do not spill over and get
through the vents. This can cause the appliance to short circuit.
► Bacteria can develop on the food if the temperature is too low. Make sure that you set a high
enough temperature to keep food warm.
Correct Use
► In areas which may be subject to an infestation by vermon, pay attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be
caused vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
► If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its' service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
► The power cord can only be routed through the hole in the bottom of the cabinet to avoid
touching the back shell of the oven.

Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Please ensure that it presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Cleaning and Care
Disposal of the Packing Material
The transport and protective packing has been selected
from materials which are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are
disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposal of your old Appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain
materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to human health and
to the environment. They are, however, essential for
the correct functioning of your appliance.

^Close the drawer.
The warming drawer is fitted with a softclose self-closing
mechanism.
It also has a contact switch, which ensures that the
heating element and fan in the appliance only work when
the drawer is closed.
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.

How to use it
1.Preheat the warming drawer for 15 min to 70°C.
2.Cover the meat properly with cling wrap.
3.The cooking duration depends on the size of the individual pieces of meat (check
table).
4.Put the covered meat on a plate and use a chronometer to calculate the time.
5.Sear the meat to give flavour (check the table).

What is it?
I t is any cooking procedure where the cooking temperature is at or close to the
desired final core temp. In traditional cooking, the cooking temperature always
exceeds the desired ready-to-eat temperatures. With low temperature cooking
meat cooks at a low temperature over a long period of time. Using this method,
meat loses less liquid (less molecule breaking), maintain organoleptic
characteristic (vitamins, proteins and so on) keeping freshness, flavor and
juiciness intact.
This cooking method is particularly suitable for large and tender pieces of meat.
For precision we recommend using a proprietary food thermometer to monitor
the core temperature.
Core temperature
Food can be cooked to a core temperature of up to 70°C in the food warming
drawer. Meat which needs to be cooked to a core temperature higher than
70°C is not suitable for cooking in the food warming drawer.
The core temperature reading gives information about the degree of cooking in
the middle of a piece of meat. The lower the core temperature, the less cooked
the meat is in the middle:
45-50 °C = rare
55-60 °C = medium
65 °C = well done
