How the warming drawer works

This appliance is equipped with a warm air circulation system. A fan distributes the heat generated by an electrical heating element throughout the interior of the appliance. The thermostat allows the user to define and control the temperature wanted for the crockery.

The circulating hot air that is generated heats up the crockery quickly and evenly. A metal grille protects both the heating element and the fan. The base of the drawer is fitted with a non-slip mat to prevent plates and dishes sliding around when the drawer is opened and closed.

Use

Before using for the first time

• Before using the appliance for the first time you should clean the interior and the exterior, following the cleaning instructions given in the section “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
• Then heat the warming drawer for at least 2 hours. For this, turn the temperature control to the maximum position (see section ‘Selecting temperature”).
• Make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated when you are doing this.
• The appliance’s parts are protected by a special product. For this reason, during the first heating an odour will be released. Both the odour and any smoke that may form will disappear after a short time and neither signifies that there is anything wrong with the connection or the appliance.

Control Panel

• The control panel has a temperature selector and the on/off switch. The control panel is only visible when the drawer is open.
• When the drawer is closed you can check whether the warming drawer is switched on by looking through the viewing port on the front of the appliance.

Using the warming drawer

To use the warming drawer, proceed as follows:

• Push the center of the front face to open the warming drawer.
• Put the crockery in the drawer.
• Select the temperature you want by turning the thermostat control to the desired position.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the switch, which will light up.
• Close the drawer.

Be careful not to use too much force when closing the drawer since it may open up again. Before taking out the warm crockery you must switch off the warming drawer by pressing the switch again.

Selecting temperature

By turning the thermostat control you can select temperatures between 30 and 80 °C. Do not force the thermostat control to the left of the “0” position or to the right of the maximum position since this may damage the appliance. As soon as the temperature selected is reached, the heating is turned off. When the temperature drops to a value below that selected, the heating is turned back on. The temperature scale is not marked with absolute temperatures in ºC but instead has symbols which correspond to the optimum temperatures for groups of crockery:

Heating times

Various factors affect heating times:

• Material and thickness of the crockery
• Load quantity
• How the crockery is arranged
• Temperature setting

It is therefore not possible to give any precise heating times. However, as a guide, the following times are given for the thermostat setting and for uniform heating of the crockery:

Load /Time (min)

• Crockery for 6 people: 30 – 35

As you use the warming drawer more and more you will learn the best settings for your crockery.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cleaning is the only maintenance action that is required normally.
• Warning:  Cleaning must be done with the warming drawer disconnected from the electrical power supply. Remove the plug from the power socket or disconnect the warming drawer power supply circuit.
• Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, abrasive sponges or pointed objects since stains or abrasion marks may appear.

Appliance front and control panel

• The warming drawer can be cleaned using just a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the washing water.
• Wipe the surfaces dry using a dry cloth.
• For stainless steel fronted warming drawer, special products for treatment of stainless steel surfaces can be used. These products prevent the surfaces becoming dirty again for some time. Apply a thin layer of such a product on the surface using a soft cloth.
• On aluminium fronted warming drawer use a gentle glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not release fluff. Wipe horizontally without pressing on the surface since aluminium is sensitive to scratches and cuts.
• For glass fronted warming drawer If there are fingerprints, grease, or stains on the exterior (such as the front panel surface) clean with a soft cloth with a glass cleaner or neutral detergent, and then wipe dry with soft, clean, dry cloth.

Interior of the warming drawer

• Clean the inside of the warming drawer regularly using a damp cloth. If it is very dirty add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the washing water.
• Wipe the surfaces dry using a dry cloth.
• Avoid water entering through the air circulation opening.
• Only use the warming drawer again when it is completely dry.

Mat with non-slip surface

• The non-slip surface mat can be removed to facilitate cleaning of the drawer.
• The mat can be cleaned by hand using hot water with a few drops of washing-up liquid.
• Dry thoroughly.
• The non-slip mat should only be replaced when it is completely dry.

What should I do if the warming drawer doesn’t work?

WARNING:  Any type of repair must only be done by a specialised technician. Any repair done by a person not authorised by the manufacturer is dangerous.

Before contacting Technical Assistance, check on the following:

• The crockery doesn’t heat up enough. Check whether:
  • The appliance has been switched on.
  • The appropriate temperature has been selected.
  • The air circulation orifices are covered by the crockery.
  • The crockery was left to heat up for sufficient time.
• Heating time depends on several factors, such as, for example:
  • Crockery material type and thickness.
  • Quantity of crockery.
  • How the crockery is arranged.
• The crockery doesn’t heat up at all. Check whether:
  • You can hear the noise of a fan.
  • If the fan is operating then the heating element is broken; if the fan is not operating then the fan is broken.
  • The switchboard fuses / circuit breakers have fused / tripped out.
• The crockery is heating up too much.
  • The temperature selector is broken.
• The on/off switch does not light up.
  • The switch’s pilot light has blown.
• There is some noise when the drawer is opened and closed:
  • This is normal and comes from the latching mechanism.

• Dispose of all the packaging materials such as cardboard, expanded polystyrene and plastic wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way you can be sure that the packaging materials will be re-used.
• Please keep all packaging materials away from small children as there is a choking / suffocation risk.

Disposal of equipment no longer used

According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances should not be put into the normal systems for disposal of solid urban waste.

Outdated appliances should be collected separately to optimise component material recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent potential harm to human health and the environment. The symbol of a rubbish container superimposed by a diagonal cross should be put on all such products to remind people of their obligation to have such items collected separately.

Consumers should contact their local authorities or point of sale and request information on the appropriate places to leave their old home electrical appliances. Before disposing of your appliance, render it nonusable by pulling out the power cable, cutting this and disposing of it.

Installation instructions

Before installation

• Check that the input voltage indicated on the characteristics plate is the same as the voltage of the power outlet you are going to use.
• Open the drawer and take out all the accessories and remove the packing material.
• Attention: The front surface of the crockery heater may be wrapped in a protective film.
• Before using the warming drawer for the first time, remove this film carefully.
• Make sure that the warming drawer is not damaged in any way. Check that the drawer opens and closes correctly. If you find any damage, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Attention: the power socket should be easily accessible after the warming drawer has been installed.

The warming drawer should only be built-in in combination with those appliances indicated by the manufacturer. If it is fitted in combination with other appliances, the guarantee is no longer valid since it is impossible to guarantee that the warming drawer will work correctly.

Installation

To build-in the warming drawer in combination with another appliance there must be a fixed, interim shelf in the housing unit to support the weight of both appliances. The appliance to be combined with the warming drawer will be placed directly on the latter without any need to have a separating shelf.

To build-in the appliance which is combined with the warming drawer, follow the instructions set out in the respective instructions and fitting booklet. The relevant installation dimensions are indicated in mm in the diagrams shown at the end of this booklet. Proceed as follows:

1. Place the warming drawer on the shelf and slide it towards the interior of the niche in such a way that it is centred and completely lined up with the front of the unit.
2. Check that the warming drawer frame is properly levelled and is sitting evenly on the shelf.
3. Open the drawer and fix the warming drawer to the sides of the unit using the two screws provided.

Electrical Connection

The warming drawer is equipped with a power cable and plug for single phase current. We advise that the plug is connected to a socket that is easily accessible after installation.

If the warming drawer is to be installed on a permanent basis it should be installed by a qualified technician. In such a case, the appliance should be connected to a circuit with an all-pole circuit breaker with a minimum separation of 3 mm between contacts. The data necessary for the electrical connection are described on the warming drawer characteristics plate and these must be compatible with those of the power outlet you are going to use.

WARNING: THE WARMING DRAWER MUST BE CONNECTED TO EARTH.

The manufacturer and retailers do not accept responsibility for any damage that may be caused to people, animals or property if these installation instructions are not observed.
