PREPARATION
1. Set warmer on a flat, stable non-combustible surface near the
power source.
2. Fill the SINK with approximately 1/2 inch of water. Do not allow
water level to go higher than this. The food warmer will work most
efficiently when used with water. Do not operate without water in
the SINK. Handle hot water carefully.
3. If warmer fails to work properly when first operated call customer
service at 1-877-392-7854.
OPERATION
1. Plug CORD into a grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage.
Electrical shock can occur if appliance is not grounded properly.
2. Preheat the water in the SINK: Covering the SINK with an empty
food container or cover. Set heat control knob to the maximum heat
setting for the recommended time: 15 minutes if SINK contains
HOT water. 25 minutes if SINK contains COLD water.
3. The warmer is intended to hold containers of previously cooked,
hot food at the proper temperature.
4. Place stainless steel containers (insets) of food into warmer. Cover
inset with lid. To prevent spills, do not overfill the food container.
5. Do not put food product directly into the warmer SINK. Food
must always be placed in an inset.
6. For the function of hot food holding, set the heat control knob to the
desired setting. Monitor food temperatures closely for food safety. It
is the responsibility of the operator to make sure that food is maintained at a safe temperature for serving. The insets must be cov-
ered 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.
8. Turn warmer off when not in use. To disconnect appliance, turn
controls off and remove plug from power source.
THESE WARMERS ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH WATER IN
THE SINK. WET OPERATION IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN SAFE
FOOD TEMPERATURES, FOR MORE EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION,
LOWER OPERATING COSTS AND LONGER TROUBLE FREE
SERVICE. FOOD INSETS MUST BE COVERED TO MAINTAIN
TEMPERATURE WHEN FOOD IS NOT BEING SERVED.
