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. 

 

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. 

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. 

By turning the thermostat control you can select 
temperatures between 30 and 85 °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.
