Use
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 warming drawer 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 warming drawer is switched on by
looking through the viewing port on the front of
the appliance.
Using the warming drawer
To use the warming drawer 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 warming drawer by pressing the
switch again.
Selecting temperature
By turning the selector control you can select the
function you require..
Do not force the control knob 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 function selected is reaches
temperature, the heat turns off. When the
temperature drops to a value below that selected,
the heating is turned back on. This prevents
overheating.
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 30˚C for defrosting food
which is frozen, this setting gently accelerates
the defrosting process, while keeping food in a
safe place.
Approximately 40 °C for cups and
glasses, and also for proving dough.
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. It is also a safe, warm
place to store dough for bread making while it
proves.
Approximately 60 ºC Ideal setting for
plates and serving dishes. Food placed on pre-
heated plates will stay hot for a prolonged time.
However, these plates and dishes can still be
touched without any discomfort.
Approximately 80˚C for keeping foods
which have been already cooked warm before
serving. This is NOT a cooking appliance
however and must only be used as keep warm
drawer between cooking and serving.
