Using the plate warmer
The plate warmer is only intended for
warming dishes.
Do not use the plate warmer to
re-heat, cook or keep food or drinks
warm. Condensation from food or
drinks could cause moisture dam
age to the appliance.
The appliance operates with a hot airsystem. A fan distributes hot air to heat
plates quickly and evenly.
A protective grill 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
close to the control panel and being
damaged when the drawer is pushed
in.
The floor of the warming drawer has anon-slip mat to prevent plates and
dishes sliding when the drawer is
opened and closed.
-
Controls
The controls consist of the temperature
selector knob and the On/Off button.
These are only visible when the drawer
is open.

Using the plate warmer
-
-
-
The following loading examples are
given as a guide only.
Do not stand plates up directly in front
of the rail. When the drawer is closed,
these will block the vents for the heated
air and prevent the dishes from warm
ing evenly.
The temperature control is used to ad
just the temperature setting.
Only turn the temperature control
clockwise and then back again.
Stop when you feel a resistance.
Forcing the control past this point
will damage it.
The heat will shut off automatically
when the selected temperature is
reached. It will turn back on again as
soon as the temperature drops below
the selected temperature.
A temperature range between approximately 86 °F and 176°F (30 °C and
80 °C) can be set.
Recommended temperatures for
pre-heating:
– approximately 104 °F (40 °C)
b for cups and glasses. A hot drink
placed in a cup warmed to this temperature will not cool as fast, while
the cup itself can be touched easily.
Warming times
Various factors will affect the warming
times:
material and thickness of dishes,
–
quantity,
–
how dishes are arranged,
–
temperature setting.
–
As you use the plate warmer you will
learn which settings suit your needs
best.
However, the following information can
be used as a guide:
At temperature setting r of approximately 140 °F (60 °C) heating:
– 6 place settings:
30 - 35 minutes.
– 12 place settings:
40 - 45 minutes.
–
approximately 140 °F (60 °C)
r for serving dishes, bowls and
