In the following review, let us have a look at their 14cm High Stainless Steel PD3SS Warming Drawer.
PD3SS – Stainless steel design:
The Baumatic PD3SS Pythagora 14 cm High Warming Drawer has a sleek stainless steel design and is 14cm high, with its full dimensions being (H x W x D) 141 x 595 x 525 mm. The appliance comes with mark resistant coating. The fascia of the drawer is plain and you will be able to find the control panel with three functions by opening the drawer of the appliance and it is on the light side. This fully extendable telescopic drawer has an integrated hot air fan and a heater on the side. This warming drawer is designed to be installed either alone or even together with an oven or microwave.
Installation of PD3SS:
When installing the PD3SS 14cm Stainless Steel High Warming Drawer, ensure that the aperture that you will be fitting the warming window into is of the dimension being (H x W x D) 145 x 560 x 560 mm. You must also make sure that the ventilation cut outs are proper and also that the rear panel of the furniture housing unit has been removed.
In order to turn on the appliance, just switch it on and close the drawer, you will find the LED glowing. The warming drawer does not start warming unless the drawer is completely closed.
Setting the temperature at PD3SS:
In order to select the temperature, place the crockery that wish to warm in the drawer. By turning the control knob clockwise, set it to the suitable temperature for the crockery that you wish to warm. Make sure that you do not turn the appliance past the Max position as the thermostat might get damaged. By setting the control knob to the cup symbol, you can get the temperature of approximately 40 degree centigrade and this temperature is suited the best to warm cups and glasses. Turning it to the plate symbol will give you a temperature of about 60 degrees and this should be used for warming your plates and dishes. By turning the control knob to the max position, you will get a temperature of approximately 85 degree centigrade and this can again be used for plates and dishes. One thing that you have to check while placing the temperature to the max is that, if the crockery has been designed to withstand this high temperature.
Time taken:
The time required to heat the crockery depends on various factors like, the material out of which the crockery is manufactured, thickness of it, the amount of load in the warming drawer, the way in which the load has been arranged and also the temperature setting that has been selected.
Load capacity:
The drawer can withstand a maximum load of 25 kilograms.
