Miele ESW700-25 - Manual (Page 5)

Food safety is an important
consideration when using a warm-
ing drawer. At a low temperature setting
some bacterial growth may occur with
some food if keeping it warm for more
than 2 or 3 hours.
Before serving, be sure food is at a
safe temperature.
This is particularly important when
preparing food for babies and children.
Never warm undiluted alcohol in
the warming drawer as this can
easily ignite.
Exercise caution when warming
food with a high sugar content. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelize or ignite.
Only use heat resistant
dishes.
Do not place food in unopened
containers in the warming drawer.
Pressure may build up and cause them
to explode.
Do not use plastic containers or
plastic wrap in the warming
drawer. Items may melt and cause
damage to the warming drawer or
injury.
Close the drawer after removing
food. An opened drawer can be a
trip or burn hazard.
Always open the drawer carefully.
Allow hot air or steam to escape
before placing or removing food.
Do not lean or sit on the drawer.
This will damage the drawer which
can only hold a maximum of 33 lbs
(15 kg).
Use a food thermometer to check
the temperature of food.
Only use the warming drawer with
the non-slip mat in place to prevent
injuries and machine damage.
To prevent injuries, do not use
accessories not recommended by
Miele.
Before cleaning the appliance, trip
the circuit breaker and allow the
appliance to cool.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the drawer. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
