• Do not place the appliance or any part of it in a range, or on or near hot surfaces
(e.g. burner, heater or oven). Do not use the appliance or any parts of the appli-
ance for any other purpose than the intended use. Exclusively use the appliance
for warm-keeping edible food in suitable, heat-resistant containers. Do not handle
the appliance or any part of it with violence. The ventilation slits in the housing
must always be unobstructed.
• The appliance is NOT intended for heating cold foodstuffs. Do not place any fro-
zen food on the hot heating plate. Only place warm cooking pots and pans or
heat-resistant bowls / dishes on the hot heating plate. Always wait until the hea-
ting plate reached an appropriate temperature before placing hot pots and pans
on it. Otherwise the heating plate could crack.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power
outlet to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with pro-
tective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating
of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appli-
ance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 10 A) to avoid interference with other
appliances. The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.)
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electri-
cal circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further
information.
