Using The Appliance For The Fi Rst Time; Cooling Function - WMF Ambient Mode D'emploi

Using the appliance
The WMF Ambient Cooling & warming plate can be used to keep food hot or cold. Food can be placed
directly on the glass plate, which can be removed for easy cleaning. The WMF Ambient Light can also
be used as a decorative feature to create a stylish atmosphere.

Using the appliance for the fi rst time

▪ Remove all packaging from the appliance.
▪ Before using the appliance for the fi rst time, clean the glass plate with hot water and washing-up
liquid then dry carefully.
▪ Place the appliance on a stable, level surface close to a plug socket.
▪ Note: We recommend putting the appliance where you intend to use it, so as to avoid needing to
move the appliance when hot.
▪ Do not place any conductive objects next to the appliance. Remove any twists in the cable to
ensure that the WMF Easy Touch technology can work properly.
Warming plate
▪ he cooling elements must be removed from the appliance in order to use the warming plate func-
tion.
▪ Carefully insert the glass plate in the appliance: you will hear it click into place.

Warning: Do not use the appliance without the glass plate in any circumstances.
▪ Plug the appliance in and press the on/off switch. The right-hand LED on the glass plate will light
up white; this means that the appliance is in standby mode.
▪ Use the touch controls to select on one of the four temperature settings for the hotplate: 50°C,
70°C, 90°C and 110°C.
Warning: The heated glass plate will be hot. Do not touch when the appliance is working.
For example: To heat the hotplate to 50°C, press the "+" symbol once; twice for 70°C, three times for
90°C, etc. The right-hand LED goes out and the left-hand LED on the glass plate fl ashes red to indicate
that the appliance is being heated to the lowest temperature setting (50°C).
▪ Once the target temperature has been reached, the LED will be a steady red. Food can now be
placed on the glass plate to be kept warm.

Warning: risk of burns: The heated glass plate will be hot. Do not move the plate when hot.
Note: Make sure as much food as possible is in contact with the plate to maximise the warming effect.
The lower temperature settings (50°C and 70°C) are ideal for keeping foodstuffs like pizza and slices of
quiche warm on the glass plate. If the food is placed on a plate or other container then on the glass
plate, the container will absorb a lot of the heat. You will therefore need to select a higher tempera-
ture (90°C or 110°C) in order to keep the food warm effectively.'
▪ To turn off the hotplate function after use, press the "-" symbol until the right-hand LED on the
glass plate lights up white, then leave the appliance to cool completely.
Note: The white LED will fl ash until the glass plate has completely cooled down in order to warn
of the risk of burns. Do not begin cleaning (see section on "Cleaning and care") until the white LED
remains permanently lit white.
▪ Note: For reasons of hygiene, do not keep warm your dished longer as needed.

Cooling function

▪ The WMF Ambient cooling and warming plate includes two cooling plate elements. In order to
provide maximum cooling capacity, the cooling elements must be chilled for at least four hours in
the freezer at -18°C before being placed in the appliance.
▪ Warning: Risk of frostbite from direct and prolonged skin contact with cooling element.
Warning: risk of burns: If the warming function has been used earlier, allow the appliance to cool
completely before touching the glass plate and remove using the eject button. The hot plate must
be cool to the touch before the cooling elements can be placed on it.
▪ Carefully place the cooling elements on the hot plate, then fi t the glass plate onto the appliance –
you will hear it click into place.
▪ Caution: Always insert both cooling plate elements next to each other. Risk of glass breakage if the
cooling plate elements overlap.
1.
▪ The cooling elements is held down so as to maximise contact with the glass plate. Depending on
the air temperature, the cooling feature can be used for up to two hours.
▪ Plug the appliance in and press the on/off switch. The right-hand LED on the glass plate will light
up blue to show that the cooling function is active.
▪ The blue LED light will turn off when the cooling function is no longer fully effective. The same
LED will light up white to indicate that the appliance is in standby mode.
▪ Turn the appliance off using the on/off switch after use. Turn off before cleaning (see section on
Cleaning and care).
Note: The air temperature may cause condensation to form on the glass and hotplate. After
removing the cooling element, use a tea towel to wipe any condensation off the hotplate.
