Intended use

This appliance is designed for keeping food warm in domestic households and is only to be utilised in dry rooms.

This appliance is not intended for the warming or heating up of foodstuffs or other materials directly on the hotplate.

This appliance is NOT intended for use in commercial or industrial applications or for use outdoors.

Safety information

To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:

Ensure that the appliance, the power cable and the power plug are NEVER submerged in water or other fluids.

• Connect the appliance only to electrical sockets supplying a level of energy that complies with the details on the rating plate.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that it cannot be clamped or damaged in any way.
• Always remove the power plug from the wall socket after use.

Simply switching the appliance off is not sufficient, as the appliance is under power for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.

• Protect the food warmer from damages: The appliance may not be taken into use if the food warmer is damaged in any way.

In this case, immediately remove the plug from the wall socket and arrange for the appliance to be repaired.

• To avoid unnecessary risks, in the event of damage to the plug and/or the power cable arrange for it/them to be exchanged as soon as possible.

To avoid the risks of fire or injury:

• NEVER touch the hotplate when the appliance is in use. It can get very hot.
  Overheated foodstuffs could begin to burn! Never let the appliance work without supervision.
• Additionally, NEVER position the appliance below inflammable objects, especially not below curtains, drapes or hanging cupboards.
• NEVER attempt to warm-up tightly sealed containers. Due to heat expansion the container could explode.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• When it is in use, take hold of the appliance ONLY with the grips.

• Remove the plug from the wall power socket.

Utilisation

• Place the appliance on a dry, flat and heat-resistant surface.

• First insert the plug of the power cable ② into the connection socket ③ and then connect the power cable ② with a wall power socket. The control lamp "Mains power connected" ⑤ glows.

• Position the On/Off switch ⑤ at "On" (-). As soon as the appliance has reached its highest temperature the control lamp "Ready for use" ⑦ glows.

• Position the On/Off switch 5 at "O".
• First remove the plug from the wall power socket and then the plug from the connection socket ③ on the appliance. The appliance is now independent from mains power and retains its heat for approx. one hour.

Risk of Burns!

Take hold of the food warmer ONLY by means of the grips ④ provided on it. The other appliance parts will be very hot!

• Place the food warmer at the place where you wish to use it.

① Note:

You can also leave the appliance connected to mains power after it has been warmed up.

It could then happen that, during use, the control lamp "Ready for use" ① briefly extinguishes itself and then glows once again. This indicates that the set temperature had fallen and the appliance had warmed itself back up.
