Warning and Safety instructions
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, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a competent person if in doubt.
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 tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
This appliance must only be operated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
Never open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorised work.
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket
–or the mains fuse is withdrawn
Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g danger of overheating).
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions
Use
The interior of the plate warmer drawer can reach temperatures of
up to about 80 °C depending on the setting selected and how long the drawer has been switched on for. Using heat-resistant oven gloves is recommended when removing crockery.
Do not let children access the appliance or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm. The appliance can get hot in use. Danger of burning if the appliance were to be switched on inadvertently.
Ensure that older children understand clearly how the appliance works before allowing them to use it.
Do not use the plate warmer to re-heat, cook or keep food or
drinks warm.
The condensation from food / drinks could lead to moisture damage in the appliance.
Do not lean or sit on an open warming drawer. This would dam-
age the telescopic runners. The drawer can hold a maximum of 25 kg.
Do not store any plastic containers, household foils 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 tem-
peratures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire.
Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this appli-
ance. The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In countries which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old appliance switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.
Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-com- pliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Using the plate warmer
Functions |
Control area |
The plate warmer is intended exclusively for heating crockery.
Do not use the appliance to re-heat, cook or keep food or drinks warm. The condensation from the food / drinks could lead to moisture damage in the appliance.
The appliance operates with a hot air system. A fan distributes the heat around the drawer. The hot air circulated heats up all the plates quickly and evenly.
A protective grille prevents any contact with the heating element and fan.
The rail in the drawer separates the control panel, heating element and fan from the rest of the drawer. This prevents plates from being placed too near the control panel and geting damaged when the drawer is pushed in.
The floor of the plate drawer is fitted with a non-slip mat to prevent plates and dishes sliding about when the drawer is opened and closed.
The controls consist of the temperature control and the On / Off switch. These are only visible when the drawer is open.
Selecting a temperature
The temperature control is used to adjust the temperature setting.
Only turn the temperature control in a clockwise direction and then back again. Stop when you feel a resistance. Forcing the control past this point will damage it.
The heating will switch off automatically when the temperature selected is reached. It will switch back on again as soon as the temperature drops below this level.
