Remove all interior parts, clean gently with a soaked warm cloth and heat it up for 2 hours at 85°C. Ensure the room is well ventilated. Clean the appliance before first use. Refer to “Care and cleaning” information for general cleaning.

To use the warming drawer, proceed as follows:

• Place the food over a plate or crockery.
• Leave the ventilation slots free. The warm air should fully escape from the slots. This would allow a perfect heat distribution.
• Turn on the drawer by touching the ON/OFF button (①). A single beep is emitted.
• Select function/temperature and duration. It is possible to have a delay till 24 hours.
• Close the drawer.
• Be careful not to use too much force when closing the drawer, since it may open up again.

To set the temperature, press SET until the temperature icon (Thermometer symbol) lights up, then use the – and + buttons. The temperature can be adjusted between 30° and 85°C with steps of 5°C.

Once the temperature is set, the end of cooking time can be selected by pressing the SET button until the end of cooking icon (Arrow pointing right symbol) turns on. Use the +/- buttons to set the end of cooking time from 30 minutes to 24 hours with steps of 15 minutes. At the end of the timer the drawer turns off automatically.
Note: In case of temperature selection above 65°C the drawer will switch off after 10 hours for safety reasons.

It is possible to set the delay start from 1 hour to 24 hours with steps of 1 hour. When the appliance is switched on, press the SET button until the delay start icon (Clock symbol) lights up. Use the +/- buttons to set the desired delay start time. At the end of the timer, the drawer starts with the temperature selected automatically. The delay start can only be set when the appliance is switched on.

During the heating phase, the temperature and cooking time parameters can be changed by touching the SET button. When the corresponding icon lights up, the parameter can be changed using the +/- buttons.

	80°C – 85°C	Low temperature cooking (only for 14 cm high drawer)	Refer to paragraph 8.7 (Low temperature cooking guide)

Various factors affect heating times:

• The material and thickness of the crockery;
• Load size;
• How the crockery is arranged;
• Temperature setting;
• Repeated opening and closing of the drawer.

It is therefore not possible to give precise heating times. As you use the warming drawer regularly, you will learn the best settings for your crockery.

Start of heating: Heating begins 10 seconds after no actions are performed on the interface. The operation LED (Pilot light 1) lights up.
Note: If no settings are made, the drawer automatically starts heating 10 seconds after switching on with the objective being the default values (30°C and 30 minutes).
Display during heating:

• If the delay function has been set, the delay start icon (Clock symbol) lights up, the operation LED (1) starts flashing and the display shows the countdown to the start of the heating.
• During the heating phase, the end of cooking icon (Arrow pointing right symbol) is on and the operation LED (1) turns steady, while the display shows the temperature for the cooking.

Switching off is automatic at the end of the heating time (three long beeps are emitted) or by manually touching the ON/OFF button (①).

With this feature, the drawer will heat at 45°C (it cannot be modified) for 80 hours. During this phase, all keys are disabled. The drawer will turn off automatically after 80 hours, or manually by pressing the ON/OFF button (①).
To activate the Sabbath mode:

1. Turn on the drawer with the ON/OFF key (①).
2. Simultaneously touch SET and + until the display shows 5Ab.

The function can only be set when the appliance is switched on.

Suggestions for the warming – dehydrating and keep warming functions: Preheat the warming drawer for 15 minutes to ensure it is at the required internal temperature.

The setting (80°C – 85°C) is suitable for cooking at a low temperature and prolonging the cooking of fine cuts of browned beef, veal, pork and lamb. Use only fresh, quality meat. Do not use cuts over 6 cm in diameter. For larger cuts, preparation in a combined oven or steamer is recommended. Cooking time depends on the size of the meat.

Preparation:

• The meat must be browned before cooking at low temperatures.
• Pre-heat the drawer with the dishes inside for 15 minutes.
• Heat some oil or butter in a pan and brown the meat over high heat.
• Ensure that the whole surface of the meat is roasted in the pan.

Recommended dishes:

• Use suitable glass, porcelain or ceramic dishes.
• For best results, place the plate in the centre of the drawer.

The following searing duration refers to searing the meat in a pan with pre-heated butter or oil.

Reference times (only for 14cm high drawer):

Food	Quantity	Roast gently before on a cooking pan	Cooking time*
Beef fillet steaks	250g (medallion)	3 minutes	2/3 h
Beef fillet steaks	500g (chateaubriand)	6 minutes	3/4 h
Roastbeef	500g	10 minutes	3/4 h

With this cooking system, the meat is not as hot as traditionally cooked meat. If you want to keep the cooked meat warm, set the temperature back to 60°C.

WARNING! The warming drawer must be disconnected from the power supply before cleaning. Unplug the device or isolate its power supply circuit. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning products, scouring pads/sponges or sharp objects. Never use high pressure or steam jet cleaning appliances.

Appliance front and control panel:

• Clean using just a damp cloth. If very dirty, add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the water.
• Wipe surfaces dry using a dry cloth.
• For stainless-steel fronts, use special products for stainless-steel surfaces. Apply a thin layer with a soft cloth.
• For aluminium fronts, use a delicate glass cleaning product and a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe horizontally without applying pressure.

Interior of the warming drawer:

• Clean the interior regularly using a damp cloth. If very dirty, add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the water.
• Wipe surfaces dry using a dry cloth.
• Avoid water entering the air circulation opening.
• Only use the warming drawer again when it is completely dry.

Non-slip base:

• The non-slip surface mat can be removed for easier cleaning.
• Clean the mat by hand using hot water with a few drops of washing-up liquid.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Reposition the non-slip mat only when it is completely dry.

Check whether:

• The appliance is on.
• The appropriate temperature has been selected.
• The air circulation orifices are not blocked by the crockery.
• The crockery was left to warm up for sufficient time.

Remember that heating time depends on several factors, such as the material and thickness of the crockery, load size, and how the crockery is arranged.

Check whether:

• You can hear the noise of the fan. If the fan is running, this means that the heating element is defective. If the fan is not running, this means that it is faulty. Contact Technical Assistance.
• The fuse has blown or the circuit breaker has tripped.

The temperature selector may not be working correctly. Contact Technical Assistance.

The indicator light has likely blown. Contact Technical Assistance.
