Warning: Hazard of injury and burns!

Casing surfaces, placed containers with food and other accessory parts become hot during use and fi rstly stay hot after switch- off! Do not splash cold water on the hot glass surface! Thus, act with caution:

• We recommend using pot cloths.

• Do not use the appliance´s upper side as depositing rack or working top as it will get hot when operating the appliance! As protection against fi re, do generally not put objects made of paper, plastic, fabric or other infl ammable material on hot surfaces.

• Do not transport the hot appliance. Appliance and accessories must have cooled completely before cleaning or moving them.

• Observe the following when setting up the appliance: o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.). o Place it beyond children’s reach. o Leave an appropriate ventilation distance to all sides to avoid damage by heat or fat splatters and to grant an unobstructed work area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured. o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven, gas fl ame etc.) or in explosive environments, where infl ammable liquids or gases are located. Attention! Hazard of fi re! The freestanding hot tray is not qualifi ed for installation!

• Do not use the appliance as space heater.

• Only use the original detachable power cord.

• Do not use the appliance to heat fl ammable or highly volatile liquids or similar substances. Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.12 Always unplug and let cool down the appliance before cleaning! Never immerse appliance, power cord or plug in water for cleaning! Make sure no water or steam may infi ltrate the appliance from below!

• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and some dishwashing detergent.

• Treat the surfaces with suitable care products from time to time.

• Never use abrasives, solvents, steel wool or pointed objects!

• Never treat the appliance with a steam cleaner! Cleaning and maintenance Attention: Hot surface!

• The heat storing warming tray has a special confi guration, which means that the stainless steel tray heats up less in the peripheral zones than in the middle of the surface. This feature prevents an overheating of the gripping areas and minimizes the risk of burns.

• The appliance has a high-quality decorative surface. Please take care to put kitchenware cautiously onto the plate and not to slide it on. Hard china may cause scratches.

• In order to avoid damage, make sure to exclusively use the attached power supply cord.

• Connect the plug for the appliance with the warming tray’s power inlet.

• Then plug the safety plug into an earthed socket.

• The warming tray reaches its maximum temperature of about 120 °C within approx. 8 minutes.

• The pilot lamp goes out.

• The plug for the appliance can be removed now.

• The appliance is now independent of power supplies and can be used for a great variety of purposes. The cumulated heat will be stored for up to one hour.

• It is possible to keep the appliance connected to the mains for a longer period. The integrated thermostat also serves as a thermal shut-off to prevent overheating. It switches off the heating element automatically as soon as the maximum temperature has been reached. When the temperature drops, the thermostat will start again all by itself and will re-heat the warming tray to maximum temperature. You can see that the thermostat adjusts itself to maintain the temperature by the pilot lamp‘s going on and off.

• Unplug the appliance after usage!

• Kitchenware with a level bottom, which provides good contact to the surface of the warming tray, is particularly suitable for keeping dishes warm.

• Bottom stand should not be too high since otherwise considerable loss in heat will occur.

• Covering the dishes will increase effi ciency of keeping them warm. Initial use and operation Initial use and operation13 Disposal/recycling PE-HD

Packaging material Do not simply throw the packaging material away but recycle it. Deliver paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard to waste paper collection points. Also put plastic packaging material and foils into the specifi c collection containers. The printed or embossed markings indicate the materials which were used: PE stands for polyethylene (code 02 means high-density PE, 04 stands for low-density PE), PS stands for polystyrene and CPE for chlorinated polyethylene. PAP 20 means corrugated cardboard and PAP 21 other cardboard. All plastics are thermoplastics which are very easy and effi cient to produce. They are also very easy to recycle and therefore can even have a smaller ecological footprint than comparable cardboard packaging. NOTE: It is not always possible or reasonable to avoid using plastic packaging. These often have great advantages compared to cardboard because less material has to be used which saves weight which in turn reduces CO
