HELPFUL TIPS
•
It is important to maintain all warm or hot foods at a minimum of 140ºF over an
extended period of time to prevent any food borne illness.
•
Use a food thermometer to regularly monitor the temperature of the food and adjust it
when necessary to maintain them at a minimum of 140ºF.
•
All foods have different consistencies so depending on what you are serving you may
have to adjust the temperature on the buffet server lower or higher to maintain them
at a minimum temperature of 140ºF.
•
Temperatures may fluctuate as the food is being served and the contents of the large
pan and / or buffet trays are emptied.
•
You may adjust the temperature accordingly to avoid over or under heating the
prepared food.
•
All foods have different consistencies and may require a lower or higher setting to
keep the food warm. For example, a higher temperature setting will be required to
keep mashed potatoes warm and a lower temperature to keep gravy warm.
•
This unit is designed to reach a minimum temperature at each setting. (See
"SETTINGS TEMPERATURE GUIDE" for more information.)
•
ONLY THE BAKING PAN IS OVEN SAFE AND UP TO 350°F.
•
You can also use water inside of the large pan when using the buffet trays to distribute the
heat more evenly without creating hot spots in the buffet trays. This is especially effective
when serving sauces or creamy dishes.
•
THE SILICONE GRIPS ON THE HANDLES ARE OVEN SAFE ONLY UP TO 350°F.
•
Always operate the appliance over a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
•
Extended use of the buffet server over long periods of time at high temperatures may cause
discoloration of the buffet trays and scorching may occur on the warming tray.
