Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not overload the drawer. The
~
maximum load bearing capacity of the
drawer is 15 kg.
Depending on the temperature
~
selected and the length of time the
appliance is being used, the inside of
the drawer can get extremely hot
during use, and remain hot for some
time after being switched off.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
~
drawer. This can damage the
telescopic runners. The drawer has a
maximum load bearing capacity of 15
kg.
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 manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
To minimise the risk of burning
~
yourself on the inside of the drawer,
always pull it out as far as it will go
before removing crockery.
Do not use the appliance to re-heat,
~
cook or keep food or drinks warm, as
moisture in the food or drinks could
cause corrosion damage to the drawer.
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.
Do not use the appliance to heat up
~
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
Never replace the anti-slip mat
~
supplied with the appliance with paper
kitchen towel or similar.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Before using for the first time
Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After
sales service" section of this booklet.
Cleaning and heating up for the first time
^ Remove any protective foil and sticky labels.
^ Remove the anti-slip mat from the drawer, and clean it with
warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry using a
soft cloth.
^ Wipe the appliance inside and out with a damp cloth only,
and then dry with a soft cloth.
^ Replace the anti-slip mat in the drawer.
^ Then heat the empty drawer for at least two hours. Set the
temperature control to maximum (see "Selecting a
temperature").
Metal components have a protective coating which may give
off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time,
and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated.

Operation
Do not use the appliance to re-heat, cook or keep food or
drinks warm. Condensation from the food or drinks could
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Always use oven gloves to remove heated crockery from
the drawer.
The load bearing capacity of the appliance is 15 kg
maximum.
The base of the drawer is fitted with an anti-slip mat which
stops crockery sliding about when the drawer is opened and
closed.
Opening and closing the drawer
The drawer can be opened and closed by pressing lightly in
the middle of the drawer front.
Controls
The controls consist of a temperature dial and an On/Off
switch. These are only visible when the drawer is open.
When the drawer is closed, you can tell when the appliance is
switched on because the On/Off switch illuminates through a
hole in the front of the drawer.

Operation
Operation
^ Place the crockery inside the drawer.
^ Select the temperature required.
^ Switch on the appliance (j).
The switch lights up.
^ Close the drawer.
Switch the appliance off (k) before removing the heated
crockery.
Pull the drawer out to its full extent before unloading it.
Selecting a temperature
The temperature dial allows you to select any temperature
between approx. 30 and 50 °C.
The temperature selector must only be turned in a
clockwise direction as far as it will go and then back
again.
Otherwise it will be damaged.
When the temperature is reached, the heating element
switches itself off. When the temperature falls below that
selected, the heating element switches on again
automatically.
The optimum temperature for warming cups is approx. 40 °C.
Drinks poured into warmed cups do not cool down so
quickly, but cups are still not too hot to handle.

Operation
Heating up times
Various factors will affect the heating up times:
– The material and thickness of the crockery
– Maximum capacity
– How the crockery is arranged
– The temperature setting.
It is therefore not possible to state precise times.
However, the following information can be used as a guide:
At a temperature setting of approx. 50 °C, it takes approx.
30-40 minutes to heat crockery through to an even
temperature.
As you use the plate warmer, you will get to know which
setting suits your own needs best.

on the type and size of your own crockery.
Example
– 25 Cappuccino cups, C 88 mm
or
– 56 Espresso cups, C 60 mm
Place cups and glasses upside down in the drawer so that
they warm through thoroughly.
The maximum load bearing capacity of the appliance is
15 kg.

Clean the front using a Miele microfibre E-cloth or with a
clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up
liquid. Then dry with a soft cloth.
The external surfaces of this appliance are all susceptible
to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could even

~
make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage
and connected load) correspond with the mains electricity
supply,
This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of
damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in
any doubt.
The socket and on-off switch should be easily accessible
~
after the appliance has been built in.
The plate warmer may only be built in in combination with
~
those appliances quoted by the manufacturer as being
suitable. The manufacturer cannot guarantee trouble-free
operation if the appliance is operated in combination with
appliances other than those quoted by the manufacturer as
being suitable.
When building in the plate warmer in combination with
~
another suitable appliance, the plate warmer must be fitted
above a fixed interim shelf in the housing unit to ensure that
the housing unit can suport both its weight and that of the
other appliance.
As the combination appliance is placed directly on top of
~
the plate warmer once it is built in, an interim shelf is not
necessary between the two appliances.
When building in the combination appliance, it is essential
~
to follow the instructions given in the operating and
installation instructions supplied with the combination
appliance.
This appliance may only be installed in mobile installations
~
such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of
the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified
