1.4 Instructions for use
Appliance installation
▪ The appliance must be installed by
qualified personnel only.
▪ Each step must be carried out and
checked in full in the order specified.
Before using fully integrated appliances
for the first time, the cabinet front must
be mounted correctly as the metal parts
behind the cabinet front get hot during
operation.
▪ Electrical connections must be carried
out by qualified personnel in accord-
ance with the guidelines and standards
for low-voltage installations and the spe-
cifications of the local electricity supply
companies.
▪ A plug-in appliance may only be con-
nected to a socket outlet with earthing
contact, installed according to specifica-
tions. An all-pole mains isolating device
with 3mm contact opening should be
provided in the house wiring system.
Switches, plug and socket devices, cir-
cuit breakers and fusible cut-outs which
are accessible after installation and
which have all-poles switching are per-
missible as isolating devices. Effective
earthing and separately installed neutral
and earth conductors ensure safe and
fault-free operation. After installation,
live parts and cables with basic insula-
tion must not be accessible. Check old
installations.

if it is possible to de-install the complete
appliance at any time without causing
any damage.
Before using for the first time
▪ The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installa-
tion instructions. Before using fully in-
tegrated appliances for the first time,
the cabinet front must be mounted cor-
rectly as the metal parts behind the
cabinet front get hot during operation.

person. Repairs if carried out incorrectly
may cause serious injury, damage to
the appliance and fittings, as well as af-
fect the functioning of the appliance. If

3 Operating modes
3.1 Heating serving and tableware
Spread dishes across entire warming plate. The heating duration depends on the mater-
ial and thickness of the dishes as well as their quantity, height and arrangement. Stacked
plates take longer to heat up than individual items.
Do not place any large platters on their end in front of the ventilation slits. They block the
outlet openings for the heated air and as a result the dishes are not heated evenly.
▸ Put the dishes in the drawer.
▸ Touch the button.
– The recommended values illuminate.
▸ Close the drawer.
– The pilot lamp illuminates.
– The appliance heats up.
It takes approximately 45 minutes to heat place settings for 6 persons.
Unloading dishes
As heated dishes cools down quickly, take them out of the warming drawer just before
you need them.
▸ Open the drawer when the operating mode finishes.
▸ Touch to switch the appliance off.
▸ Use protective gloves or oven cloths to remove the dishes.
Risk of burns! The surface of the warming plate is hot. Items around the outside of
the drawer get hotter than those in the middle. Always use protective gloves or
oven cloths to remove the dishes.

Risk of burns! The surface of the warming plate is hot. Items around the outside of
the drawer get hotter than those in the middle. Always use protective gloves or
oven cloths to remove the dishes.
3.3 Keeping food warm
This operating mode is for keeping food warm straight after being cooked and not
for reheating refrigerated food. Never place hot saucepans or frying pans straight
from the hob on to the warming plate. This can damage the warming plate. Only
use the operating mode for keeping food warm.
▸ Put the dishes in the drawer.
▸ Touch and preheat the appliance for 15 minutes.
▸ Place the food in the preheated dishes.
To avoid spillage, do not overfill plates, dishes, cups, etc.
Cover food with a heat-resistant lid or aluminium foil. The surface of food that is
not covered will dry out.
We recommend that food is not kept warm for longer than one hour.

4 Uses
4.2 Low temperature cooking
The setting is suitable for low temperature cooking and cooking to
completion of seared, small to medium-sized, high-quality cuts of meat (beef, lamb, pork,
veal) no thicker than 6cm. We recommend cooking larger pieces of meat in an oven or
combi-steam cooker.
Cooking meat at a low temperature for longer makes it tender and succulent.
Preparations
Sear meat before low temperature cooking.
▸ Use suitable glass, porcelain or ceramic cookware.
▸ Preheat the drawer containing the cookware at setting level .
▸ Rapidly heat a little fat in a pan.
▸ Sear the meat.
The searing times below refer to the sealing of meat in hot fat.

▸ Place the meat in the preheated cookware in the drawer to cook to completion.
▸ Cover the cookware with a lid.
Meat that has been low temperature cooked is not as hot as conventionally
cooked meat. Sauces should be served very hot. Put the plates in the warming
drawer during the last 45–60 minutes of cooking.
To keep meat that has been cooked at a low temperature warm, switch back to
level after low temperature cooking. Small pieces of meat can
be kept warm for up to 45minutes, large pieces for up to 2hours.

suffocation. Store the packaging material in a safe location or dispose of it in an
environmentally-friendly way.

Render the appliance unusable to prevent accidents caused by improper use (e.g.
through children playing):
▸ Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to be carried
out by a qualified electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance.
9.3 Disposal
▪ The «crossed‐out wheeled bin» symbol requires the separate collection of waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Such equipment can contain hazardous,
environmentally harmful materials.
▪ These appliances are to be handed over to a designated collection point for the recyc-
ling of electrical and electronic equipment and must not be disposed of with unsorted
household waste. And in this way, you will be helping to protect resources and the en-
vironment.
