BakeMax Pizza Warmers is designed to hold prepared foods for a period of time while maintaining a fresh quality.
BakeMax Pizza Warmers provide the best environment for food products by offering both heat and humidity. The
use of controlled heat and humidity maintains serving temperature and food texture longer than conventional
dry heating cases.
The air flow is designed to keep a consistent temperature without drying out the pizza. The combination of heat
and humidity creates a reliable heat effect around the food. The air flow enables the cabinet to recover
temperature quickly after opening and closing the door.

OPERATION
GENERAL
1. Plug the BMPWR20 into a properly grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage, size and plug
configuration.
2. Place the power switch in the ON position. The display will alternately flash "LO" - "H20" (4) times and then
flash the temperature. It will continue to alternate this way until the water reservoir is filled. Once the
reservoir is full it will display the cabinet temperature.
NOTICE Water Quality Requirements - Incoming water in excess of 3.0 grains of hardness per gallon (GPG)
(.75 grains of hardness per liter) must be treated and softened before being used. Water containing over 3.0
GPG (.75 GPL) will decrease the efficiency and reduce the operating life of the unit.
NOTE: Product failure caused by liming or sediment build-up is not covered under warranty.
3. Fill the water reservoir with softened or distilled
water. To fill the reservoir, lift up the fill cup cover
and pull forward. Slowly pour the water into the cup until LO H20 stops flashing.
NOTE: To assure proper operation when using distilled water, add one teaspoon of salt to the water reservoir
during the initial manual fill only.
WARNING Overfilling can cause electrical shock, filling when LO H20 light stops flashing.
Use of softened or distilled water is recommended to preserve the life of the electrical and mechanical
components in the reservoir. Do not use de-ionized water. If "hard" water is used, the reservoir will require
periodic cleaning and de-liming. See MAINTENANCE for de-liming instructions.
NOTICE
Do not use de-ionized water. De-ionized water will greatly shorten the life of the
water reservoir and heating element.
NOTE: Product failure caused by de-ionized water is not covered by warranty
NOTE: On the initial fill the water reservoir capacity is 80 ounces or 2-1/2 quarts (2.3 litres).
4. Set the humidity selector to the desired level. Set the temperature selector to the desired temperature. See the
FOOD HOLDING GUIDE for recommendations.
Setting Temperature:
1. Press Temperature to enter temperature mode (tsp will be displayed).
2. Press Temperature again to display current temperature setting.
3. Arrow Up or Down to desired temperature. Temperature range is 80°-195°F (27°-91°C) in single degree

4. After desired Humidity Level is set - Wait 15 seconds without pushing any buttons, for
controller to automatically return to operational mode.
NOTE: Temperature and humidity settings may vary depending upon product make-up
and consistency. The temperature indicator displays the lowest temperature point
inside the cabinet, not the product temperature.
Allow 20 minutes to preheat a full reservoir of water. The warmer is then ready to hold
foods at the humidity and temperature selected.
The reservoir capacity permits uninterrupted operation for approximately 3-6 hours,
depending on the settings and how frequently the door is opened.
When the LO H20 is flashing, add water to the reservoir. The water reservoir refill
capacity is approximately 64 ounces, or two (2) quarts (1.9 litres).
