Keeping food warm

This function is for keeping food warm that has just been cooked, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold.

In order to ensure that the temperature does not drop below the minimum required for keeping food warm (65°C), select the s function only.

Pre-heat the drawer thoroughly for 15 minutes to ensure that it has reached the required temperature.

Whilst the appliance is heating up, place the empty dishes in it to warm them up. Then place the hot food into the pre-heated dishes.

Do not cover roast or fried foods which you want to keep crisp. These types of food need to be kept warm at a higher temperature.

Cover food with a high moisture content, liquids and foods which can develop a skin, with aluminium foil or a plate.

To avoid spillages, do not overfill dishes.

Freshly cooked food is hotter than food which is being kept warm. Serve food which is being kept warm on pre-heated plates.

Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and continue to diminish when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept warm for, the greater the loss of nutrients.

We do not recommend food being kept warm for too long, as it will continue to cook.

Do not slam the drawer open or shut. Liquids could spill over and get into the vents.

Food may cool down if the drawer is opened and shut too often.
