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.

whether the crockery warmer is switched on by

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 70 °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:
- approximately 40 °C for cups and
glasses.
With this setting, the hot contents of cups or
glasses do not cool down as quickly while it
is still possible to pick up the cup itself
without burning your hand.
- approximately 60 ºC
Ideal setting for plates and serving dishes.
Food placed on pre-heated plates will stay
hot for more time. However, these plates
and dishes can still be touched without any
discomfort.
