SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE:
The temperature knob adjusts the temperature between 30 and 70 °C.
The most appropriate temperatures for the types of dishes used are as
follows :
40 °C: for cups or glasses. Hot drinks generally stay hotter for longer
when poured into cups or glasses preheated to this temperature, without
danger of burns when people drink from.
60 °C: for plates and dishes. Food served on preheated plates or dishes
generally maintain their heat for longer and the dishes can be touched
without burning the hands.
PREHEATING TIME:
Preheating time depends on several factors:
the thickness of the dishes and the material they are made from
the
load
disposal of the load
temperature
selection
Therefore, we cannot give heating times that will correspond
systematically.
However, as a guideline, here are a few hints :
For a temperature setting of 60 °C, heated evenly:
dishes for a meal for six take approximately 30 min.
dishes for a meal for twelve take approximately 40 min.
After using the drawer a few times, you will know for yourself how long it
takes to heat your dishes.
