3. Initial use and operation

Attention: Hot surface!
• The appliance has a high-quality decorative surface. Please take care to put kitchenware
cautiously onto the plate and not to slide it on. Hard china may cause scratches.
• In order to avoid damage make sure to exclusively use the attached power supply cord.
• Connect the plug for the appliance with the warming tray's power inlet.
• Then plug the safety plug into an earthed socket.
• The warming tray reaches its maximum temperature of about 120 °C within approx. 8 minutes.
• The pilot lamp goes out.
• The plug for the appliance can be removed now.
• The appliance is now independent of power supplies and can be used for a great variety of purposes.
The cumulated heat will be stored for up to one hour.
• It is possible to keep the appliance connected to the mains for a longer period of time.
The integrated thermostat also serves as a thermal shut-off to prevent overheating. It switches off
the heating element automatically as soon as the maximum temperature has been reached. When
the temperature drops, the thermostat will start again all by itself and will re-heat the warming tray
to maximum temperature. You can see that the thermostat adjusts itself to maintain the temperature
by the pilot lamp's going on and off.
• Unplug the appliance after usage!
• Kitchenware with a level bottom, which provides good contact to the surface of the warming tray, is
particularly suitable for keeping dishes warm.
• Bottom stand should not be too high since otherwise considerable loss in heat will occur.
• Covering the dishes will increase efficiency of keeping them warm.
