Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents to the appliance please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its installation, safety, use and maintenance.

The use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm or those who have not used the appliance before should be supervised by a competent and responsible person to avoid the risk of injury.

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet.

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

This appliance should be

connected via a double pole fused spur connection unit or a fused plug and switched 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).

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.

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).

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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.

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.

Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance is not a toy! Do not

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 drinks could cause corrosion damage to the drawer.

Do not sit or lean on the opened

drawer. This can damage the telescopic runners. The drawer has a maximum load bearing capacity of 25 kg.

Do not store any plastic containers,

houseold foil and wraps, or any inflammable objects in the warming drawer. They could melt or catch fire when the appliance is switched on.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised 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 the 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 safely as soon as possible. Contact your local waste collection centre for details of available recycling schemes.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances 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. Please do not therefore dispose of it 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. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance 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.

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.
