Appliance Description

Main Components

1. Temperature selector (thermostat)
2. On/Off switch (lights up)
3. Anti-slip mat

How the crockery warmer 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 alement and the fan.
The base of the drawer is fitted with a nonslip 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 crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer is switched on by looking through the viewing port on the front of the appliance.
Using the crockery warmer
To use the crockery warmer, proceed as follows:

• 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 crockery warmer 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 “O” position or to the right of the maximum position since this may damage the appliance.
As soon as the selected temperature is reached, the heating is turned off. When the temperature drops to a value below than the one selected, the heating is turned back on.
The temperature scale is marked with absolute temperatures in °C and also has symbols which correspond to the optimum temperatures for groups of crockery:

Keep food warm
| 80°C| Food Warming
Low temperature cooking

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:

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning is the only maintenance action that is required normally.
Waming! Cleaning must be done with the crockery warmer disconnected from the electrical power supply. Remove the plug from the power socket or disconnect the crockery warmer power supply circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, abrasive sponges or pointed objects since stains or abrasion marks may appear.
Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaning appliances.
Appliance front and control panel
The crockery warmer 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 crockery warmers, 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 crockery warmers
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.
Interior of the crockery warmer
Clean the inside of the crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer 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 | do if the crockery warmer 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 switchboard fuses / circuit breakers have fused / tripped out.

• The crockery is heating up too much.
  – 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 temperature selector is broken.

• The on/off switch does not light up.
  – The switch’s pilot light has blown.

Environmental protection

Disposal of the packaging
The packaging bears the Green Point mark.
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.
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 non-usable 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 crockery warmer for the first time, remove this film carefully.
Make sure that the crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer has been installed.
The crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer will work correctly.
Installation
To build-in the crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer, 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 crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer’s frame is properly levelled and is sitting evenly on the shelf.
3. Open the drawer and fix the crockery warmer to the sides of the unit using the two screws provided.

Electrical Connection
The crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer 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 crockery warmer’s characteristics plate and these must be compatible with those of the power outlet you are going to use.
WARNING: THE CROCKERY WARMER 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 notobserved.
