Using the plate warmer
Functions
The plate warmer is intended exclu
sively 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 dam
age in the appliance.
The appliance operates with a hot air
system. A fan distributes the heat
around the drawer. The hot air circu
lated 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.
-
-
-
Control area
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.
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.
8
Only turn the temperature control in
a clockwise direction and then back
again. Stop when you feel a resis
tance. 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.
-
Using the plate warmer
A temperature range of between
approx. 30 and 80 °C can be set.
Items to be heated can be divided into
two general groups:
Cups / glasses
–
Serving dishes / plates
–
Recommended temperatures for
pre-heating:
approx. 40 °C for cups or glasses.
–
A hot drink placed in a cup warmed
to this temperature will cool down
more slowly, while the cup itself can
be touched easily (i.e. it is not too
hot).
– approx. 60 °C for serving dishes or
plates.
Food will stay hot for a long time if it
is placed on plates heated to this
temperature and the plates will not
be too hot to hold when serving.
The temperatures settings are shown
as symbols rather than individual °C.
Each symbol represents the best set
ting for the group shown:
–
b: for cups and glasses
–
r: for serving dishes, bowls and
plates

Building in the plate warmer
The plate warmer must be fitted
above a fixed interim shelf in the
housing unit to ensure that the hous
ing unit can support the weight of it
and of any other appliance installed
in combination with it.
-
When fitted in combination with an
other appliance, the plate warmer
must always be fitted as the lower of
the two appliances.
As the combination appliance is
placed directly on top of the plate
warmer once it is built-in an interim
shelf is not necessary in between
the two appliances.
^ Disconnect the fused connection
point from the mains electricity
supply.
^ Then connect the plate warmer mains
cable to the fused connection point.
^
Push the appliance back into the
housing unit as far as the vapour strip
and align it.
Ensure that the housing unit is
aligned at a right angle.
-
^ Open the plate warmer drawer and
use two screws to secure the plate
warmer to the side walls of the housing unit.
Three adhesive metal strips are sup
plied with the appliance.
The metal strips must be stuck to the
plate warmer in such a way that they
seal off the space between the plate
warmer and the housing unit. The
pocket of air created acts as an insula
tor and so prevents heat loss.
-
-
22
Building in the plate warmer
Remove the protective foil from the
^
adhesive strips.
^ Push the metal strips flush up against
the side and rear walls of the housing
unit and stick them on to the plate
warmer (see illustration).
The third metal strip is not required if
the housing unit does not have a
rear panel.
Aligning the front of the plate warmer
After building in the combination appli
ance, it may be necessary under cer
tain circumstances to
align the front of the plate warmer.
–
align the gap between the plate
–
warmer and the combination appli
ance.
