Keeping food warm

In order to ensure that the tempera‐
ture does not drop below the mini‐
mum required for keeping food warm
(65 °C), select the  function only.
This function is for keeping food
which has ju
st been cooked and is still
hot. It is not for reheating food that
has gone cold.
 Select the  function.
 Selec
t the desired time setting.
Pre-heat the drawer for 15 minutes to
ensur
e that it has reached the required
temperature.
 Whilst the appliance is heating up,
place the empty dishes in the dr
awer.
 Remo
ve the pre-heated dishes from
the drawer after 15 minutes and fill
them with the hot food. Use oven
gloves to remove the dishes from the
drawer.
 The
n place the dishes in the drawer
and close it carefully to prevent any
liquid food from spilling.
Tips
– Place the hot food in pre-heated
dishes. To pre-heat dishes, place
them in the drawer while it is heating
up.
– Do not cover roast or fried food
which
you want to keep crisp. These
types of food need to be kept warm
at a higher temperature.
– Cover food with a high moisture con‐
t
ent and liquid and food which can
develop a skin, with aluminium foil or
a plate.
– 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
coo
ked, 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
k
ept warm for too long, as it will con‐
tinue to cook.
– Food may cool down if the drawer is
opened and close
d too often.
– Do not slam the drawer open or shut.
Liqui
ds could spill over and get into
the vents or into the inner parts of the
drawer.
