DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF APPLIANCE

This appliance is intended for fitting into kitchen units and is designed for warming dinner service, defrosting food, keeping food warm and for preparation of yogurts. Warming is carried out by a convection system which pumps warm air into the drawer. Thanks to the circulation of the air dishes are heated up evenly and quickly. Even so, dishes in the rear part of the drawer could be hotter than those at the front. The control panel includes control sensors with pre-defined programs as well as a manual mode, which offers a selection of temperatures from 40−80 °C (in 10°C steps) and automatic switching off at the end of the set warming period (1−4 hours).
The appliance will heat correctly only if the drawer is properly closed.

CONTROL ELEMENTS
The sensor control is activated by touching the corresponding symbol on the control panel with your finger. The control panel should therefore be kept clean and dry.

Before first use
Clean the appliance according to the instructions in the chapter „Cleaning and maintenance“ before first use. Then leave the warming drawer in operation at maximum temperature for at least two hours.
