cloth and wipe dry.
^ Heat the empty plate warmer for a
minimum of 2 hours. Turn the
temperature selector to "Maximum"
(see "Selecting a temperature").
^ Vent the room when heating the

The appliance works with a convection
system. A fan distributes the heat
evenly throughout the drawer. The air
circulation heats the dishes fast and
evenly.
A protective grill prevents contact with
the heating element and fan.
The floor of the warming drawer has a
non-slip mat to prevent plates and
dishes from sliding when the drawer is
opened and closed.

Built-in measurement
The appliance is available in two
heights: The opening measurement
needed is the summary of the
measurement of the plate warmer and
the combination appliance.
To install the plate warmer in
combination with another
appliance, a built-in shelf must exist in
the cabinet to support the weight of
both appliances.
When installed in combination with
another appliance, the plate
warmer must always be installed
beneath the other appliance. The
combination appliance can be set
without a base directly onto the plate
warmer. A shelf between the
