Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both
personal injury and material
damage.

Before installing and using the
appliance for the first time, read the
operating and installation
instructions carefully. They give
information on safety, on the
operation and care of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accident and damage to the
appliance.

Do not let children access the
appliance or its controls. Supervise
its use by the elderly or infirm.

Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference and pass them
on to any future user.

Technical safety

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.

This appliance may be connected

via a plug and fused socket. If you
wish to connect it to an isolator switch,
or if the appliance is supplied without a
plug, it must be installed and
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with local and national safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested, and where there is any doubt
the electrical system in the house is
checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions

For safety reasons the drawer must

only be used after it has been built
in. This is necessary to ensure that all
electrical components are shielded.

Never open the casing of the

appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components is highly dangerous to
the user and can cause operational
faults.

Installation work, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent
persons in accordance with national
and local safety regulations to ensure
safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service engineer
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

During installation, maintenance

and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. The appliance is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:

–

the mains fuse is withdrawn,

–

or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),

–

or it is switched off at the isolator or
at the wall socket and the plug
removed.

Correct usage

This appliance complies with all

relevant legal safety requirements.
Incorrect use can lead to personal
injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the drawer, you should
read these operating instructions
carefully before using it for the first time.
They contain important notes on the
safety, operation and care of the
drawer.

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only to warm plates,
dishes and other crockery.
Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect or improper use of the
appliance.

Depending on the temperature

selected and the length of time the
appliance is being used, the inside of
the drawer can get as hot as 80 °C.
To avoid burning or scalding yourself,
always use protective oven gloves to
remove plates and dishes from the
drawer.

A child's skin burns more easily

than an adult's.
Keep children away from the appliance,
and do not allow them to play with it or
near it.
Switching the appliance on
inadvertently causes it to heat up, with
a danger of burning.

let children access the drawer or
its controls. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.

Do not use the appliance to

re-heat, cook or keep food or
drinks warm, as moisture in the food or

steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.

Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene)
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials as soon as possible.

Disposal of your old appliance
or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines often contain materials
which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. The plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.

Before using for the first time

General notes

The plate warmer is intended
exclusively for heating crockery.

It uses a hot air warming system. A fan
distributes heat given off by a heater
element evenly throughout the drawer.
The circulating air ensures that
crockery is heated evenly and quickly.

A protective grille protects you from
touching either the fan or the heating
elements.

The base of the drawer is fitted with a
non-slip mat which stops crockery
sliding about when the drawer is
opened and closed.

Keep these instructions in a safe place
for reference, and pass them on to any
future user.

Cleaning and heating up for
the first time

Before using for the first time proceed
as follows:

Wipe the appliance with a damp

^

cloth only, and then dry with a soft
cloth.

Then heat the empty drawer for at

^

least two hours. Set the temperature
control to maximum (see "Selecting a
temperature").

It is important to ensure that the room is
well ventilated.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance defect.
