Before using for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time you should clean the interior and the exterior, following the cleaning instructions given in the section “Cleaning and Maintenance”.

Then heat the crockery warmer for at least 2 hours. For this, turn the temperature control to the maximum position (see section ‘Selecting temperature”).

Make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated when you are doing this.

The appliance’s parts are protected by a special product. For this reason, during the first heating an odour will be released. Both the odour and any smoke that may form will disappear after a short time and neither signifies that there is anything wrong with the connection or the appliance.

Control Panel

The control panel has a temperature selector and the on/off switch. The control panel is only visible when the drawer is open.

When the drawer is closed you can check whether the crockery warmer is switched on by looking through the viewing port on the front of the appliance.

Using the crockery warmer

To use the crockery warmer, proceed as follows:

•Put the crockery in the drawer.

•Select the temperature you want by turning the thermostat control to the desired position.

•Switch on the appliance by pressing the switch, which will light up.

•Close the drawer.

Be careful not to use too much force when closing the drawer since it may open up again.

Before taking out the warm crockery you must switch off the crockery warmer by pressing the switch again.

Selecting temperature

By turning the thermostat control you can select temperatures between 30 and 85 °C.

Do not force the thermostat control to the left of the “0” position or to the right of the maximum position since this may damage the appliance.

As soon as the temperature selected is reached, the heating is turned off. When the temperature drops to a value below that selected, the heating is turned back on.

The temperature scale is not marked with absolute temperatures in ºC but instead has symbols which correspond to the optimum temperatures for groups of crockery:

- approximately 40 °C for cups and glasses.

With this setting, the hot contents of cups or glasses do not cool down as quickly while it is still possible to pick up the cup itself without burning your hand.

- approximately 60 ºC

Ideal setting for plates and serving dishes. Food placed on pre-heated plates will stay hot for more time. However, these plates and dishes can still be touched without any discomfort.
