IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Before installing the appliance,

~

check for externally visible damage.
Do not operate a damaged appliance.

Be certain your appliance is

~

properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the
electrical safety of this appliance,
continuity must exist between the
appliance and an effective grounding
system. It is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If there is
any doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.

Before installation make sure that

~

the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid risk
of damage to the appliance. If in doubt,
consult a qualified technician.

Do not use the appliance until it has

~

been properly installed into cabinetry.

Hardwiring the appliance should be

~

performed by a certified electrician in
compliance with all local and national
codes, and requirements.

Do not operate any appliance with a

~

damaged cord or plug, or if the
appliance has been damaged in any
manner. Contact Miele’s Technical
Service Department.

Defective components should be

~

replaced by Miele original spare parts
only. Only with these parts can the
manufacturer guarantee the safety of
the appliance.

Before installation or service,

~

disconnect the appliance from the
power supply by either removing the
fuse, "tripping" the circuit breaker or
unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not
the cord.

Do not use an extension cord to

~

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

The plate warmer interior, the top in

~

particular, gets very hot when in use
and remains hot for some time once
turned off. Use caution.

Protect your hands with oven mitts

~

or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns.

Pull the drawer out all the way when

~

removing dishes to avoid touching hot
drawer parts.

Do not use the plate warmer to

~

reheat, cook or keep food and drinks
warm. The condensation from food or
drinks could lead to moisture damage
in the appliance.

Do not store anything in the warming

~

drawer. Forgotten items could melt or
catch fire when the appliance is turned
on. Flammable liquids and materials
should never be stored in, above or
under the plate warmer.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

~

this appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Pressurized steam may
cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components of the
appliance.

To prevent injuries, do not use

~

accessories not recommended by
Miele.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
AND REVIEW THEM
PERIODICALLY

Do not use the plate warmer to heat

~

the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could be damaged.

Do not replace the non-slip mat,

~

e.g. with a kitchen towel.

Do not lean, sit or overload the

~

warming drawer. This will cause
damage. The drawer can hold a
maximum of 33 lbs (15 kg).

Before using for the first time

Clean the appliance

Remove any protective wrapping.

^

Remove the non-slip mat and clean

^

with a solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap. Dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the plate warmer, inside and

^

out, with a damp cloth and wipe dry.

Replace the non/slip mat once it has

^

completely dried.

Heat the appliance

Heat the empty plate warmer for a

^

minimum of 2 hours. Turn the
temperature selector to "Maximum"
(see "Selecting a temperature").

Vent the room when heating the

^

drawer for the first time.

Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated. The smell will dissipate after a
short time and does not indicate a
faulty connection.

8

The plate warmer is only intended for warming dishes.

Do not use the plate warmer to reheat, cook or keep food
and drinks warm. Condensation from food or drinks could
cause moisture damage to the appliance.

Use pot holders when removing dishes.

The drawer can hold a maximum of 33 lbs (15 kg).

Opening and Closing

To open and close the plate warmer gently push the center of
the drawer.

Controls

The controls include the temperature selector and the On/Off
button. They are only visible when the drawer is open.

The indicator on the front of the drawer shows if the plate
warmer is turned on or off.

Using the plate warmer

9

Using the plate warmer

Operating

Place the dishes in the plate warmer.

^

Select a temperature.

^

Turn the appliance on (j).

^

The On/Off button will light.

Close the drawer.

^

The indicator at the front of the appliance drawer lights

^

showing that the unit is on.

Turn the appliance off (k), before removing the warmed

^

dishes.

Pull the drawer out all the way to remove the dishes.

^

Selecting a temperature

The temperature selector allows you to select a temperature
between 86° and 122°F (30° and 50°C).

Do not turn the knob counterclockwise past the 12 o’clock
position or clockwise past the 6 o’clock position. Forcing it
beyond these positions will damage the temperature
selector.

10

When the selected temperature is reached, the heating
element will turn off. It turns on again when the unit cools
below the selected temperature.

The optimum temperature to preheat cups and glassware is
about 104°F (40°C). When pre-warming cups to this
temperature, the drinks will not cool as fast and the cup itself
is still cool enough to touch.

Warming times

Capacity

Using the plate warmer

Various factors will affect the warming times:

type and thickness of the dishes,

–

quantity,

–

how the dishes are arranged, and

–

the temperature setting.

–

As you use the plate warmer you will learn which settings suit
your needs best.

As a guideline:
It will take approx. 30 - 40 minutes to evenly warm dishes at
the maximum temperature setting of 122°F (50°C).

The quantity which can be loaded will depend on the size of
your dishes.

Example:

– 25 Cappuccino cups or

– 56 Espresso cups

Insert the cups or glassware upside down in the plate
warmer to ensure an even warming.

The maximum load is 33 lbs (15 kg).

11

Cleaning and care

Allow the appliance to cool before
cleaning.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurized steam
could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.

Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use agents
recommended for domestic use.

All surfaces of the appliance are
susceptible to scratching.
Breakages can occur on glass
surfaces.

To better maintain your appliance
avoid the following:

cleaners containing soda, ammonia,

–

–

agents,

abrasive cleaners,

–

stainless steel cleaners,

–

dishwasher soap (powder),

–

caustic (oven) cleaners,

–

scouring pads, steel wool, hard

–

brushes,

extended period of time or if
unsuitable cleaning agents are used
the surfaces may discolor or
change.

^

Clean the appliance with a solution of
warm water and liquid soap applied
with a soft sponge. Dry with a soft
cloth.

Glass cleaners may be used to
clean the exterior. However do not
allow them to sit or "puddle", this can
cause damage to the surface.

Remove the cleaner promptly.
