WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE OR BURN INJURIES CAN OCCUR IF THIS EQUIPMENT IS
NOT USED PROPERLY.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Plug into grounded electrical outlets only.
• Use only on flat, level surfaces.
• Unplug warmer and let cool before cleaning or moving.
• Unplug warmer when not in use.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not spray with water and do not clean with a water jet.
• Handle hot water carefully.
• Do not operate without water in the well.
Function and Purpose – This unit is intended to HOLD containers of previously cooked, HOT food at the proper
temperature.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH WATER IN THE WELL. WET OPERATION IS
REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN SAFE FOOD ZONE TEMPERATURES (NSF), FOR MORE EVEN HEAT
DISTRIBUTION, LOWER OPERATING COSTS AND LONGER TROUBLE FREE SERVICE. FOOD PANS MUST
BE COVERED TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE WHEN FOOD IS NOT BEING SERVED.
Operations:
1.
Place the unit on a flat stable surface.
2.
Fill the well with approximately ½ inch or 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 cups of water. Do not allow water level to go higher
than this. The food warmer will work most efficiently when used with water.
Warning
Electric Shock Hazard
Keep water level at or below soup turines. If the water level is too high, water may overflow when the
food containers are inserted. The overflow could enter the electrical compartment and may cause a
short circuit or electric shock.
3.
Plug cord into a grounded 110 to 120 volt electrical outlet.
4.
Preheat the water in the well by covering the well with an empty food container or cover and set heat control
knob to the maximum heat setting for the recommended time listed below.
• 15 minutes if well was filled with HOT water.
• 25 minutes if well was filled with COLD water.
5.
Place stainless steel 7-quart insets of food into unit. Cover inset with lid. To prevent spills, do not overfill the
food container.
6.
For the function of hot food holding, set the heat control knob to the desired setting. Monitor food temperatures
closely for food safety. The United States Public Heath Service recommends that food be held at 150 to 160°F
or above to help prevent the growth of organisms.
THE INSETS MUST BE COVERED TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES WHEN FOOD IS NOT BEING SERVED.
7.
During normal operation for food holding periodically remove container and check water level. Add hot water
if necessary. Stir occasionally.
Warning
Burn Hazard
Hot water and steam in the well can burn the skin. Use protective gloves, mitts or potholders when removing
food container or cover. Hot food and water can also cause burns. Handle food carefully.
