Section 3
Operation
DANGER
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that
operators are made aware of the inherent dangers of
operating this equipment.
DANGER
Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some type
of protective covering on your hands and arms when
removing lids or pans from the unit. Lift the lid or pan
in a way that will direct escaping steam away from your
face and body.
DANGER
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service
company.
DANGER
Keep power cord AWAY from HEATED surfaces. DO NOT
immerse power cord in water. DO NOT let power cord
hang over edge of table or counter.
Warning
n
When operated dry, the well bottoms become very hot.
Do not allow unprotected skin to contact any well surface.
Warning
n
The operator of this equipment is solely responsible
for ensuring safe holding temperature levels for all
food items. Failure to do so could result in unsafe food
products for customers.
Warning
n
Do not use electrical appliances or accessories other than
those supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning
n
All covers and access panels must be in place and properly
secured, before operating this equipment.
Caution
,
Never use anything other than plain water in the wells
or tank. Failure to observe this warning may result in
personal injury or damage to the unit.
Caution
,
Using ice in a hot food well can cause condensation and
damage to the well over time.
Before the unit is used the first time, turn the temperature
knob to HI and heat the well for up to 30 minutes. Any
residue or dust that adhered to the heater element(s) will be
burned off during this initial preheat period.
NOTE: Never place food directly into the well. Always use
pans.
Although these models may be operated either with or
without water in the wells, wet operation is recommended.
When using thick sauces always operate the hot food
well filled with water. This will provide a more uniform
temperature for the sauce.
Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent
food from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.
For most efficient operation when empty or pre-heating,
keep covered insets in each well.
Do not put food down drain.
WET OPERATION
Use only 4” (10cm) deep pans during wet operation.
1. Fill food well with 2” (50mm) of water. For quicker preheating, use hot water to fill the well.
2. Turn the control to HI and pre-heat the warmer for 30
minutes. For fastest pre-heating place covers or empty
pans in well.
3. After pre-heating, set the control to your desired serving
temperature.
DRY OPERATION
Use only 6” (15.2cm) deep pans during dry operation. When
operated dry, the bottom of the food well will discolor. A mild
abrasive cleaner is recommended to clean this discoloration.
1. Pre-heat the well on HI for approximately 15 minutes.
For fastest pre-heating place covers or empty pans in
well.
2. After pre-heating, set the control to your desired serving
temperature.
TEMPERATURE
Water in wells 160°F to 180°F (71°C to 82°C)
Product in pans 140°F to 160°F (60°C to 71°C)

Maintenance
DANGER
It is the responsibility of the equipment owner to perform
a Personal Protective Equipment Hazard Assessment
to ensure adequate protection during maintenance
procedures.
DANGER
Failure to disconnect the power at the main power supply
disconnect could result in serious injury or death. The
power switch DOES NOT disconnect all incoming power.
DANGER
Disconnect electric power at the main power disconnect
for all equipment being serviced. Observe correct polarity
of incoming line voltage. Incorrect polarity can lead to
erratic operation.
Warning
n
When cleaning interior and exterior of unit, avoid the
front power switch and the rear power cord. Keep water
and/or cleaning solutions away from these parts.
Warning
n
Never use a high-pressure water jet for cleaning or hose
down or flood interior or exterior of units with water. Do
not use power cleaning equipment, steel wool, scrapers
or wire brushes on stainless steel or painted surfaces.
Warning
n
When using cleaning fluids or chemicals, rubber gloves
and eye protection (and/or face shield) must be worn.
Caution
,
Never use an acid based cleaning solution on exterior
panels! Many food products have an acidic content,
which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the
stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.
General
You are responsible for maintaining the equipment
in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
Clean the unit and around it as often as necessary to
maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in water to remove
dust and dirt from the unit. Always rub with the “grain” of
the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish. If a greasy
residue persists, use a damp cloth rinsed in a mild dish soap
and water solution. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Never use steel wool or abrasive pads for cleaning. Never use
chlorinated, citrus based or abrasive cleaners.
Stainless steel exterior panels have a clear coating that
is stain resistant and easy to clean. Products containing
abrasives will damage the coating and scratch the panels.
Daily cleaning may be followed by an application of stainless
steel cleaner which will eliminate water spotting and
fingerprints. Early signs of stainless steel breakdown are
small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly and
start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to restore
the steel.
Food Wells
The interior of the food wells should be cleaned daily with a
non-abrasive cleaner and non-abrasive pad. If necessary, a
mild abrasive may be used on the interior of the pans only.
Hard water stains and lime scaling may require a special
cleaning product.
• Follow product instructions carefully if a sanitizer is used.
• Do not to leave cleaners in a food well overnight or for an
extended period of time.
• Never use steel wool.
• Never use a high-pressure water wash for cleaning as
water can damage the electrical components.
Caution
,
Maintenance and servicing work other than cleaning as
described in this manual must be done by an authorized
service personnel.
