PRODUCT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. THIS ATTENTION! To benefit from our guarantee you must send in the "Guarantee Certificate" and, when requesting Technical Assistance, you must present the crockery warmer purchase invoice, stamped and dated by the shop where you bought the appliance. If this requisite is not fulfilled, the guarantee is not valid. Always keep the instruction manual handy. If you lend the crockery warmer to someone else give them the manual as well! Disposal of the packaging The packaging bears the Green Point mark. Dispose of all the packaging materials such as cardboard, expanded polystyrene and plastic wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way you can be sure that the packaging materials will be re-used. Disposal of equipment no longer used According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances should not be put into the normal systems for disposal of solid urban waste. Outdated appliances should be collected separately to optimise component material recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent potential harm to human health and the environment. The symbol of a rubbish container superimposed by a diagonal cross should be put on all such products to remind people of their obligation to have such items collected separately. Consumers should contact their local authorities or point of sale and request information on the appropriate places to leave their old home electrical appliances. Before disposing of your appliance, render it nonusable by pulling out the power cable, cutting this and disposing of it.

Installation instructions Before installation Check that the input voltage indicated on the characteristics plate is the same as the voltage of the power outlet you are going to use. Open the drawer and take out all the accessories and remove the packing material. Attention! The front surface of the crockery heater may be wrapped in a protective film. Before using the crockery warmer for the first time, remove this film carefully. Make sure that the crockery warmer is not damaged in any way. Check that the drawer opens and closes correctly. If you find any damage, contact the Technical Assistance Service. Attention: the power socket should be easily accessible after the crockery warmer has been installed. The crockery warmer should only be built-in in combination with those appliances indicated by the manufacturer. If it is fitted in combination with other appliances, the guarantee is no longer valid since it is impossible to guarantee that the crockery warmer will work correctly. Installation To build-in the crockery warmer in combination with another appliance there must be a fixed, interim shelf in the housing unit to support the weight of both appliances. The appliance to be combined with the crockery warmer will be placed directly on the latter without any need to have a separating shelf. To build-in the appliance which is combined with the crockery warmer, follow the instructions set out in the respective instructions and fitting booklet.

The relevant installation dimensions are indicated in mm in the diagrams shown at the end of this booklet. Proceed as follows:

1. Place the crockery warmer on the shelf and

slide it towards the interior of the niche in such a way that it is centred and completely lined up with the front of the unit.

2. Check that the crockery warmer‟s frame is

properly levelled and is sitting evenly on the shelf.

3. Open the drawer and fix the crockery

warmer to the sides of the unit using the two screws provided.

Installation instructions Electrical Connection The crockery warmer is equipped with a power cable and plug for single phase current. We advise that the plug is connected to a socket that is easily accessible after installation. If the crockery warmer is to be installed on a permanent basis it should be installed by a qualified technician. In such a case, the appliance should be connected to a circuit with an all-pole circuit breaker with a minimum separation of 3 mm between contacts. The data necessary for the electrical connection are described on the crockery warmer’s characteristics plate and these must be compatible with those of the power outlet you are going to use.

The crockery warmer is solely for domestic use! Use the crockery warmer solely for warming crockery. Any other type of use is unacceptable and may be dangerous. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for breakdowns or faults arising from improper or erroneous use of the appliance. Do not use the appliance to heat up or to cook food or drinks. Depending on the temperature selected and the operating time, the temperature inside the appliance may reach 80 ºC. To take crockery out of the crockery warmer protect your hands by using oven gloves or an oven cloth. Take special care with children and do not allow them to play close to the appliance. If the appliance is inadvertently switched on it will heat up and may cause serious burns. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Do not sit or hang on the drawer. The telescopic runners will be damaged. The maximum load capacity of the drawer is 25 kg. Do not store synthetic containers or easily inflammable objects inside the crockery warmer. When you switch on the appliance such containers and objects may melt or catch fire. Fire danger. Do not use the appliance to heat up the air temperature in the kitchen. The high temperatures reached may cause easily inflammable objects close to the appliance to catch fire. Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaning devices. The steam may affect electrical components and cause a short circuit. The steam pressure may also cause damage to the appliance‟s surface and components in the long term.

How the crockery warmer works This appliance is equipped with a warm air circulation system. A fan distributes the heat generated by an electrical heating element throughout the interior of the appliance. The circulating hot air that is generated heats up the crockery quickly and evenly. The thermostat allows the user to define and control the temperature wanted for the crockery. The base of the drawer is fitted with a non-slip mat to prevent plates and dishes sliding around when the drawer is opened and closed.

A metal grille protects both the heating element and the fan.

Use Before using for the first time Using the crockery warmer Before using the appliance for the first time you should clean the interior and the exterior, following the cleaning instructions given in the section “Cleaning and Maintenance”. Then heat the crockery warmer for at least 2 hours. For this, turn the temperature control to the maximum position (see section „Selecting temperature”). To use the crockery warmer, proceed as follows: Put the crockery in the drawer. Select the temperature you want by turning the thermostat control to the desired position. Switch on the appliance by pressing the switch, which will light up. Close the drawer. Make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated when you are doing this. Be careful not to use too much force when closing the drawer since it may open up again. The appliance‟s parts are protected by a special product. For this reason, during the first heating an odour will be released. Both the odour and any smoke that may form will disappear after a short time and neither signifies that there is anything wrong with the connection or the appliance. Before taking out the warm crockery you must switch off the crockery warmer by pressing the switch again. Control Panel Selecting temperature By turning the thermostat control you can select temperatures between 30 and 85 °C. Do not force the thermostat control to the left of the “0” position or to the right of the maximum position since this may damage the appliance. As soon as the temperature selected is reached, the heating is turned off. When the temperature drops to a value below that selected, the heating is turned back on. The temperature scale is not marked with absolute temperatures in ºC but instead has symbols which correspond to the optimum temperatures for groups of crockery:

The control panel has a temperature selector and the on/off switch. The control panel is only visible when the drawer is open. When the drawer is closed you can check whether the crockery warmer is switched on by looking through the viewing port on the front of the appliance.

approximately 40 °C for cups and glasses. With this setting, the hot contents of cups or glasses do not cool down as quickly while it is still possible to pick up the cup itself without burning your hand. approximately 60 ºC Ideal setting for plates and serving dishes. Food placed on pre-heated plates will stay hot for more time. However, these plates and dishes can still be touched without any discomfort.

approximately 80°C. For normal rods. Heating time is between 30 and 60 minutes.

Use Heating times Load capacity Various factors affect heating times: Material and thickness of the crockery Load quantity How the crockery is arranged Temperature setting Load capacity depends on the size of the items of crockery. The crockery warmer can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg. Below we give you some crockery arrangements as examples: Crockery for 6 people: It is therefore not possible to give any precise heating times. - 6 dinner plates Ø 28 cm However, as a guide, the following times are given - 6 soup bowls Ø 10cm for the thermostat setting heating of the crockery: Load Crockery for 6 people and for uniform - 1 dish Ø 19 cm Time (min) 30 – 35 As you use the crockery warmer more and more you will learn the best settings for your crockery.

Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning is the only maintenance action that is required normally. Warning! Cleaning must be done with the crockery warmer disconnected from the electrical power supply. Remove the plug from the power socket or disconnect the crockery warmer power supply circuit. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, abrasive sponges or pointed objects since stains or abrasion marks may appear. Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaning appliances. Appliance front and control panel The crockery warmer can be cleaned using just a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the washing water. Wipe the surfaces dry using a dry cloth. For stainless steel fronted crockery warmers, special products for treatment of stainless steel surfaces can be used. These products prevent the surfaces becoming dirty again for some time. Apply a thin layer of such a product on the surface using a soft cloth. Interior of the crockery warmer Clean the inside of the crockery warmer regularly using a damp cloth. If it is very dirty add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the washing water. Wipe the surfaces dry using a dry cloth. Avoid water entering through the air circulation opening. Only use the crockery warmer again when it is completely dry. Mat with non-slip surface The non-slip surface mat can be removed to facilitate cleaning of the drawer. The mat can be cleaned by hand using hot water with a few drops of washing-up liquid. Dry thoroughly. The non-slip mat should only be replaced when it is completely dry. On aluminium fronted crockery warmers use a gentle glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not release fluff. Wipe horizontally without pressing on the surface since aluminium is sensitive to scratches and cuts.
