Correct use

Warning and Safety instructions

~During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

–the mains fuse is disconnected,

–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable),

–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or

–it is switched off at the fused spur connection unit.

~Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

~For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

~The underside of the drawer gets

hot when switched on. Be careful not to touch it when the drawer is open.

~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.

~Take care when opening and closing the loaded drawer, that liquids do not spill over and get into the appliance through the vents. This can cause lingering odours and the appliance to short circuit.

~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.

~Ensure food is really hot when placed inside the warming drawer. The drawer is designed to keep hot food warm, and not to warm food up.

~Make sure that the vents inside the drawer are not covered. Otherwise, food and crockery will not heat up evenly.
