Warning and Safety instructions
~
During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
– the mains fuse is disconnected,
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or
– it is switched off at the fused spur
connection unit.
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.

Correct use
~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~
The underside of the drawer gets
hot when switched on. Be careful not to
touch it when the drawer is open.
~
Do not store any plastic containers
or inflammable objects in the warming
drawer. They could melt or catch fire
when the appliance is switched on,
causing a fire hazard.
~
Take care when opening and
closing the loaded drawer, that liquids
do not spill over and get into the
appliance through the vents. This can
cause lingering odours and the
appliance to short circuit.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food in the drawer, as pressure will
build up in the tin or jar, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
~
Ensure food is really hot when
placed inside the warming drawer. The
drawer is designed to keep hot food
warm, and not to warm food up.
~
Make sure that the vents inside the
drawer are not covered. Otherwise,
food and crockery will not heat up
evenly.
