OPERATION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the
unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock.
Do not overfill pans or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical
components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces while
equipment is heating or operating.
Hot food and liquids can burn skin. Allow the hot surface to cool before
handling.
\
1. Fill the well to the correct level mark with clean fresh water. The
correct level is about 1" (2.5 CM) or approximately 8 cups (1.9 L) of
water. Do not overfill.
2. Plug the electrical power cord into a grounded outlet matching the
nameplate rated voltage.
3. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers. Turn the Power Switch "ON" and the Heat
Control Knob to the maximum heat setting (10). Preheat for 25
minutes.
4. Place the container of hot food product, above 140°F (60°C), into
the preheated equipment.
5. Reduce the heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding
temperature and maintain food quality. See food safety
precautionary note.
Food Safety Precautionary Note:
Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States
Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum
of 140°F (60°C) to help prevent bacteria growth. Maintain correct water
level and temperature setting. Periodically (approximately every 2
hours) remove food container and check the water level. Add water as
needed. This warmer has been certified by UL Sanitation to meet the
NSF4 Hot Food Holding standard at settings of "7" or higher. Depending
on the volume and composition of the food media, the setting may need
to be adjusted to achieve acceptable results.
During operation
NOTICE: Do not add cold food to hot food.
Maintain water level at or near water level mark. Periodically
(approximately every 2 hours) remove the container of food and check
the water level. Add hot water if needed.
When finished using the equipment
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position and unplug the unit. When
removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts, or pot
holders to protect hands.
2. Allow unit and water to completely cool.
3. Carefully empty water from the well.
