1. Open the valve access door (B) and check that the drain valve (C) is in
the closed position (H). See Figure 2.
2. Fill the well to the correct level marks (D) with clean fresh water. Correct
level is about 1” (2.5 CM) of water. Do not over fill.
3. Plug electrical power cord into a grounded outlet matching the nameplate
rated voltage.
4. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers. Turn the power switch (A) to the “ON” position
and set the heat control(s) (E) to the maximum setting. Preheat for 45
minutes. The water will be boiling.
5. Remove empty food containers or covers. Place containers rated for hot
food that contain hot food into the preheated wells. Do not use food pans
deeper than 4” (10 cm).
6. Place covers on food containers. Leave covers on food containers unless
serving food.
7. Set the heat control(s) (E) to maintain proper hot holding temperature for
food safety. Regularly check food temperature.
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 ºF (60 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth. Maintain correct water
level and temperature setting. Periodically remove food container and
check the water level. Add water if needed.
8. When finished using the unit. Turn the temperature control(s) (E) to “0”
setting, turn the power switch (A) to the “OFF” position and unplug unit.
When removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot
holders to protect hands.
9. Allow the unit and water to cool completely.
10. Open access the access door (B).
11. Place a suitable container directly under the drain valve (C). Turn the
drain valve (C) to the open position (I) monitoring the flow of liquid going
into the container. Use caution to avoid spills that may create a slippery
condition. Turn drain valve (C) to the closed position (H) off before the
container is full. Dispose of the drained water. This procedure may need
to be repeated.
12. Turn drain valve (C) to the closed position (H) and close the access
door (B).

1. Open the valve access door (A) and check that the drain valve is in the
closed position (D). See Figure 2.
2. Plug electrical power cord into a grounded outlet matching the nameplate
rated voltage.
3. Turn the power switch (A) to the “ON” position. This unit does not have
an adjustable temperature setting. Allow the unit to run for approximately
30 minutes. For the best performance when using ice with this unit, allow
unit to run for approximately 2 hours before adding ice. This will help the
ice remain solid.
4. Place containers of properly chilled food into the pre-chilled unit.
5. Regularly check the food temperature.
NOTE:
Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States
Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a maximum
of 41 ºF (5 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth.
6. When finished using the unit turn the power switch to the off position.
7. Open access the access door (B).
8. If unit requires that water be drained place a suitable container directly
under the drain valve (C). Turn the drain valve (C) to the open position
(E) monitoring the flow of liquid going into the container. Use caution to
avoid spills that may create a slippery condition. Turn drain valve (C)
to the closed position (D) off before the container is full. Dispose of the
drained water. This procedure may need to be repeated.
9. Turn drain valve (C) to the closed position (D) and close the access
door (B).
