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). 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. 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. 4 Warning and Safety instructions 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 The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: ­ the mains fuse is withdrawn, ­ or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), ­ or it is switched off at the isolator or at the wall socket and the plug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. Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out. 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 appliance, you should read these operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on safety, operation and care. 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 extremely hot during use, and remain hot for some time after being switched off. To avoid burning yourself, use oven gloves when removing crockery from the drawer. However, do not let oven gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. To minimise the risk of burning yourself on the inside of the drawer, always pull it out as far as it will go before removing crockery. 5 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. 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, and they could burn themselves on it. 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 15 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. In countries where there are areas 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 may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee. 6 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. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled. Contact your local waste collection centre for details of available recycling schemes. Disposal of your old appliance Old appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about available recycling schemes. Ensure that the drawer presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. 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. 7 Before using for the first time General notes The plate warmer is intended exclusively for heating crockery. 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 for the first time Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. 8 Operation Do not use the appliance to re-heat, cook or keep food or drinks warm. Condensation from the food or drinks could lead to corrosion in the appliance. Always use oven gloves to remove heated crockery from the drawer. The load capacity of the appliance is 15 kg maximum. Opening and closing the drawer The drawer can be opened and closed by pressing lightly in the middle of the drawer front. Controls The controls consist of the temperature control and the On/Off switch. These are only visible when the drawer is open. When the drawer is closed, you can tell when the appliance is switched on because the On/Off switch illuminates through the hole in the front of the drawer. 9 Operation Using the drawer ^ Place crockery inside the drawer. ^ Select the temperature required. ^ Switch on the appliance (j). The switch lights up. ^ Close the drawer. Switch the appliance off (k) before removing the heated crockery. Pull the drawer out to its full extent before unloading it. The temperature selector must only be turned in a clockwise direction as far as it will go and then back again. Otherwise it will be damaged. When the temperature is reached, the heating element switches itself off. When the temperature falls below that selected, the heating element switches on again automatically. The optimum temperature for warming cups and glasses is approx. 40 °C. Drinks poured into warmed cups do not cool down so quickly, but cups are still not to hot to handle. Selecting a temperature The temperature control allows you to select any temperature between ca. 30 and 50 °C. 10 Operation Heating up times Various factors will affect the heating up times: ­ the material and thickness of the crockery ­ the quantity ­ how the crockery is arranged ­ the temperature setting. It is therefore not possible to state precise times. However, the following information can be used as a guide: At a temperature setting of approx. 50 °C, it takes approx. 30-40 minutes to heat crockery through to an even temperature. As you use the plate warmer, you will get to know which setting suits your own needs best. Capacity The quantity that can be loaded will depend to a great extent on the type and size of your own crockery. Example ­ 25 Cappuccino cups, C 88 mm or ­ 56 Espresso cups, C 60 mm Place cups and glasses upside down in the drawer so that they warm through thoroughly. The maximum load capacity of the appliance is 15 kg. 11 Cleaning and care Appliance front, control panel and interior ^ All surfaces and controls should be cleaned using warm water with a little washing up liquid applied with a soft sponge or cloth. ^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. Allow the appliance to cool down to a safe temperatur ...
