Safety tips
Keep these instructions with your appliance. If the appliance should be sold or given to another person, be sure that these instructions are supplied with it.
Please read these recommendations before installing and using your warming drawer. They have been drafted for your safety and that of others.
This warming drawer has been designed for use by private persons in their homes. It is intended exclusively for warming dishes. Any other use is prohibited and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable in the event of non-complying use.
Do not use this appliance until it has been installed in the cabinet. Only full installation of the drawer prevents any risk of contact with powered components.
Never open the body of the appliance.
The inside of the drawer can heat up 70° C depending on the temperature chosen and the duration of use. Use hot-pan holders or gloves to remove the hot dishes.
Do not use the warming drawer to keep food or drinks hot or to reheat or cook food or drinks. The moisture in the food or drinks could cause corrosion of the appliance.
Do not stand or sit on the open drawer; this would damage the telescopic rails. The maximum load of the drawer is 20 kg.
Do not store any plastic goods or inflammable objects in the appliance. They could melt or catch fire when it is turned on.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check that the wires of your electric installation have sufficient diameter to supply power to the appliance normally. The fuse for the installation should be 10 amps.
It is necessary to provide a bipolar cut-off device in the power supply circuit, where the opening of the contacts is more than 3 mm.
The electric connection should be done before the appliance is set in the cabinet.
The drawer should be connected by the (standard) power cord with three 1 mm 2 couplers (1 single phase + 1 N + ground) to the 220-240 V single phase power supply via an electric circuit corresponding to the standard CEI 60083 or complying with the installation rules. The protective wire (green/yellow) corresponds to ground ⏻ on the appliance and should be connected to the ground of the installation.
In the case of a connection via an electric outlet, the outlet should be accessible after the installation of the appliance.
The neutral on the heating drawer (blue wire) should be connected to neutral on the power supply.
If the supply lead is damaged, it must be replaced by an equivalent lead (H05RNF 3x1mm 2 ) available from the after-sales department.

Encasement
Set the appliance into the niche in the cabinet. Make certain that the body of the appliance is positioned correctly.
Open the drawer and fasten the appliance to the sides of the cabinet with 2 screws and the 2 spacers delivered with the appliance.

Using your warming drawer GB
INFORMATION BEFORE USE:
The appliance should be used exclusively to preheat dishes.
The appliance uses a hot air system to heat the dishes. A fan distributes the heat from the resistor in the drawer. The dishes are heated rapidly and uniformly by circulation of hot air.
A protective grid prevents the dishes from coming into contact with the resistor or the fan.
The floor of the drawer is covered with an antiskid mat that prevents the dishes from sliding when the drawer is opened.
CONTROLS:
The controls include a temperature knob and a Start/Stop switch. These are only visible when the drawer is open.
When the drawer is closed, the signal light on the front of the drawer comes on when the appliance is running.
SETTING THE CONTROLS:
- Put the dishes in the drawer.
- Select the temperature.
- Set the timer (minimum 10 minutes).
The signal light shows that the power is on.
- Close the drawer
When the timer runs out, the hot air heating system stops and a bell rings.
To turn the bell off, turn the knob to 0.
Using your warming drawer
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 stay hot longer when poured into cups or glasses preheated to this temperature.
- 60 °C: for plates and dishes. Food served on preheated plates or dishes maintain their heat.
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 setting
Consequently, we cannot give times that will correspond systematically.
A few hints :
For a temperature setting of 60\ °C , heated evenly:
■ dishes for a meal for six take about 30 min.
- dishes for a meal for twelve take about 40 min.
After using the drawer a few times, you will know for yourself how long it takes to heat your dishes.
