Keeping Food Warm - Miele ESW 6114 Operating And Installation Instructions

warm (65 °C), select the  function

the drawer after 15 minutes and fill
them with the hot food. Use oven
gloves to remove the dishes from the
drawer.

liquid food from spilling.

Keeping food warm

Useful tips
To maintain your food's optimum quality
please note the following:
– Whilst the appliance is heating up,
place the empty dishes in it to warm
them up. Then place the hot food into
the pre-heated dishes.
– Do not cover roasted or fried foods
which you want to keep crisp. These
types of food need to be kept warm
at a higher temperature.
– Cover liquids and food with a high
moisture content with a suitable lid or
heat-resistant foil to prevent moisture
escaping and condensing outside the
dish.
– To avoid spillages, do not overfill
dishes.
– Freshly cooked food is hotter than
food which is being kept warm. Serve
food which is being kept warm on
pre-heated plates.
– Nutrients are lost when food is
cooked, and continue to diminish
when food is kept warm. The longer
food is kept warm for, the greater the
loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that
food is kept warm for as short a time
as possible.
– We do not recommend food being
kept warm for too long, as it will
continue to cook.
– Food may cool down if the drawer is
opened and closed too often.
– Do not slam the drawer open or shut.
Liquids could spill over and get into
the vents or into the inner parts of the
drawer.
