USE
3.1
Before First Use
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”.
Remove the non-slip base.
Then heat the warming drawer for at least
2 hours. To do 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 treated with a
special product. This may cause an
unpleasant odour to be released during
this initial heating. Both the odour and
any fumes that may form will disappear
after a short time and neither signifies
that there is anything wrong with the
connection or the appliance.
3.2
Control panel
The control panel has a selector and an
on/off switch. The control panel is only
visible when the drawer is open.
3.3
Using the warming drawer
To use the warming drawer, proceed as
follows:
•
Place the crockery in the drawer.
•
Do not arrange plates vertically in front
of the ventilation slots.
The warm air would not be able to fully
escape from the slots. This would lead
to uneven heating of crockery.
•
Select the desired function by turning
the thermostat knob to the
corresponding position.
•
Switch on the appliance by pressing the
switch; the corresponding light will
come on.
•
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
warming drawer by pressing the switch
again.
3.4
Function Selection
The thermostat knob allows you to select
temperatures between 30 and 80°C.
Do not force the thermostat knob to the
left beyond the "0" position, or to the right
beyond the maximum temperature, as
this could damage it.
As soon as the selected temperature is
reached, the heating element will turn off.
When the temperature drops back below
the selected value, the heating element
will turn on again.
The temperature scale is marked with
absolute temperatures in °C and also has
symbols which correspond to the
optimum temperatures for groups of
crockery:
