• Do not use any corrosive chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or cleaning
pads (e.g. bleach, oven cleaner, metal scouring pads) for cleaning to
avoid damage to the surfaces.
Do not place the appliance or power
cord in an automatic dishwasher.
• Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean the appliance
after each use to prevent accumulation of baked-on foods (see “Care
and Cleaning”). Always keep the appliance and its parts, where it
is clean.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a sui-
table wall power outlet to connect the appliance directly to a pro-
tected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains
power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance
(220 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, AC, rated for at least 10 A) to avoid interference
with other appliances. The installation of a residual current operated circuit
breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current
of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in
doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are sub-
ject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in
foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the
appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe
operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, extension
cord, or remote control systems.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of power plugs must
be smooth and clean. Always completely unwind power cords before
use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may
never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let
the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure
that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not
to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect
the power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet
hands, when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
•
DO NOT
drip or spill any liquids on or in the appliance or power
cord. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or other
liquids. Do not place the appliance on wet surfaces. When liquids
overflowed or are spilled on the appliance, immediately unplug the
appliance. Thereafter, clean and dry the appliance and let it dry natu-
rally for at least 1 day. See: “Care and Cleaning”. Do not place the
appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
HIGH TEMPERATURES – RISK OF BURNS
• The DESIGN WARMING TRAY is designed for warm-keeping edible
food in appropriate containers. For this purpose, the appliance is hea-
ted electrically. Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries
and damage. Please keep this in mind to avoid scalds and damage.
• Even the exterior of the appliance and the handles can be very hot
during operation and up to 1/2 hour thereafter. Do not touch the hot
surfaces with any parts or your body or any heat-sensitive objects.
Only touch the appliance and its parts at the temperature control dial
during operation and thereafter.
• Always leave the appliance cool down before moving or cleaning
the appliance. Do not move the appliance or place the appliance on
heat-sensitive surfaces, when it is still hot.
•
To avoid risk of explosion and fire: DO NOT heat any high-proof
alcoholic liquid or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine, grog) on
the appliance. Do not pour any alcoholic liquid on the appliance.
During operation do not place the appliance near any objects con-
taining highly inflammable gases or liquids (e.g. spirit, propane
gas cylinder, gas lighter).
