USING THE WARMING TRAY
This warming tray takes just 8 minutes to heat up to 150°C and stays warm for 1 hour after being unplugged.
The power cord is easily detached so that the tray can be placed conveniently on your table. After unplugging,
the warming tray will release heat for a full hour, gradually cooling to around 50°C or 60°C.
If you prefer, you can keep the warming tray plugged in during use, for up to 2 hours during any 6 hours. The
tray has a thermostat to maintain the temperature at 150°C and prevent overheating.
1.
Place the warming tray on a level, sturdy and dry surface. Making sure the warming tray is switched off,
connect it to the power cord, then plug into a mains socket. The red power light will stay on as long as the
tray is plugged in.
2.
Begin heating up the warming tray by pressing the on/off switch. After around 8 minutes the green ready
light will come on to show that the correct temperature has been reached. If you are not ready to use the
tray immediately, keep it plugged in (for up to 2 hours) and the thermostat will maintain the temperature.
3.
When you are ready to use the warming tray, switch off and unplug it. Detach the power cord and carry
the tray to your table, where it will stay warm for 1 hour. Take care not to touch any part of the metal
hotplate; carry the hot tray by its handles and wear oven gloves for protection.
4.
If you prefer to keep the warming tray plugged in during use, please do not exceed 2 hours during any 6
hours. Place the tray well away from the edge of your worktop or table, and position the power cord so
that it cannot be tripped over or grabbed accidentally.
5.
Place your food on the warming tray in suitable heatproof dishes. Take care not to scrape dishes across
the surface, especially porcelain and china, as they may scratch the brushed chrome.
6.
After use, let the warming tray cool down completely before carrying, cleaning and storing away. See
CARE AND CLEANING.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
For best results, begin with piping-hot food and pre-warmed dishes.
•
Choose dishes that are HEATPROOF, with flat bases to ensure maximum contact with the hotplate.
•
High-sided dishes are best avoided as they may encourage loss of heat.
•
Covering the dishes will help to keep food warm for longer.
•
If in any doubt about the temperature of your food, please check with a kitchen thermometer.
•
Once dishes are empty, lift them off the hotplate.
•
For your safety, the warming tray has been designed to protect against overheating with its automatic shut-
off and temperature control features.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the warming tray, ensure it is switched off and the power cord is unplugged from the mains
socket. CAUTION: always allow the warming tray to cool completely before cleaning.
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners or scourers
as they will damage the chrome surface. CAUTION: the warming tray, power cord and plug must not be
immersed in water or any other liquid.
