Removing warm crockery

⑥ Crockery can be removed at any time. Refer to the following table for suggested

heating times.

IMPORTANT!

Always use oven mitts to remove heated crockery from the warming drawer.

Approximate heating times

Suggested heating times for an average crockery load*.

SETTING I II		III
TEMPERATURE LOW MEDIUM HIGH
Approximate time to heat crockery to selected temperature	40 minutes 40 minutes 40 minutes
Suggested uses Warming coffee cups	Warming plates and serving dishes	For extra hot plates or heating serving platters
	The cup is still cool enough to touch, but will keep drinks hot for longer	This is the default setting	For occasions when it will take time to 'plate up'. Crockery will be hot - use oven mitts to avoid burns.

*Times are approximate only. Times will vary according to the thickness and material of crockery used, and the layout of the crockery in the warming drawer. Full capacity loads will take longer.

IMPORTANT!

Heated crockery cools quickly.

Do not remove items from the drawer until just before you need them.

Suggested loading scenarios

IMPORTANT!

• Do not overload your warming drawer.
  The maximum allowable weight is 66lbs (30kg).
• Distribute the load evenly.
• Only place heat resistant crockery in the drawer
• Never place plastic or aluminum foil items in the drawer as these may melt and may catch fire.

General guidelines

• Place cups upside down on the drawer base.
  Maximum stack height of items is 3 5/32" (80mm).
• Ensure only dry dishes are loaded into the warming drawer to avoid problems with condensation or the possibility of steam burns.
• As much as possible always distribute dishes over the surface of the drawer. Stacks of dishes take longer to heat through.
  The number of plates or cups that can be loaded depends on the size of your dishes.
• Avoid placing large serving dishes next to the fan element vents as they will cover the warm air outlet and the crockery will not heat up evenly.
