Frequently Asked Questions - WS482710 GAGGENAU

How to preheat dishes with the Gaggenau WS482710 warming drawer?

Place the dishes in the drawer, set the selector to position 4 (preheating dishes). The indicator flashes then becomes steady once closed. Preheating takes about 15 to 25 minutes for a service of 6 people. Use oven mitts to remove the dishes. Do not use position 4 for drink containers.

Can I keep food warm in the Gaggenau WS482710 drawer?

Yes, set the selector to position 3. Preheat the drawer for 10 minutes first, then place the food in a covered container. Do not exceed 1 hour of keeping warm. Food must be in heat-resistant dishes. Do not place hot pans directly on the glass bottom.

How to defrost or rise dough with this drawer?

For gentle defrosting (pie, butter, cheese) or dough rising, use position 1. Cover the dough. The duration depends on the quantity. Position 2 is for more intense defrosting (meat, cake, bread).

What to do if the indicator light flashes intensely?

Intense flashing indicates a fault. First check that the drawer is properly closed. If it remains abnormal, unplug the appliance and contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

How to clean the Gaggenau WS482710 warming drawer?

Clean only when appliance is off (selector on 0). Use a soft cloth with water and a little dish soap. For stainless steel, dry immediately. The heating plate can be cleaned with warm water. Never use a steam or high-pressure cleaner.

Can I heat espresso cups in this drawer?

Yes, but only on position 2. Positions 3 or 4 would make the containers too hot and risk burning them. Place them in the drawer and let them heat for a few minutes.

What to do if the dishes don't heat enough?

Check that the appliance is on, the drawer is properly closed, and there is no power outage. Make sure you have respected the preheating time (15-25 min). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Reach into the compartment and turn off the lighting at the top left. The lighting will then stay off until the next manual operation.
