Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

and then dry with a soft cloth.
^ Replace the anti-slip mat in the drawer.
^ Then heat the empty drawer for at least two hours. Set the
temperature control to maximum (see "Selecting a
temperature").
Metal components have a protective coating which may give
off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time,
and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated.
9
Operation
Do not use the appliance to re-heat, cook or keep food or
drinks warm. Condensation from the food or drinks could
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Always use oven gloves to remove heated crockery from
the drawer.
The load bearing capacity of the appliance is 15 kg
maximum.
The base of the drawer is fitted with an anti-slip mat which
stops crockery sliding about when the drawer is opened and
closed.

switched on because the On/Off switch illuminates through a
hole in the front of the drawer.
10
Operation
Operation
^ Place the crockery inside the drawer.
^ Select the temperature required.
^ Switch on the appliance (j).
The switch lights up.
^ Close the drawer.
Switch the appliance off (k) before removing the heated
crockery.

Selecting a temperature
The temperature dial allows you to select any temperature
between approx. 30 and 50 °C.
The temperature selector must only be turned in a
clockwise direction as far as it will go and then back
again.
Otherwise it will be damaged.
When the temperature is reached, the heating element
switches itself off. When the temperature falls below that
selected, the heating element switches on again
automatically.
The optimum temperature for warming cups is approx. 40 °C.
Drinks poured into warmed cups do not cool down so
quickly, but cups are still not too hot to handle.
11
Operation
Heating up times
Various factors will affect the heating up times:
– The material and thickness of the crockery
– Maximum capacity
– How the crockery is arranged
– The temperature setting.
It is therefore not possible to state precise times.
However, the following information can be used as a guide:
At a temperature setting of approx. 50 °C, it takes approx.
30-40 minutes to heat crockery through to an even
temperature.
As you use the plate warmer, you will get to know which
setting suits your own needs best.
12
Operation
Capacity
The quantity that can be loaded will depend to a great extent
on the type and size of your own crockery.
Example
– 25 Cappuccino cups, C 88 mm
or
– 56 Espresso cups, C 60 mm
Place cups and glasses upside down in the drawer so that
they warm through thoroughly.
The maximum load bearing capacity of the appliance is
15 kg.
13
