SECTION 1 ­GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The E3407 is a 400mm wide electric wet-well bain marie.
It is designed to be mounted on a worktop or similar surface. Alternatively, it can be installed upon a fixed or

mobile stand.
Heating element is controlled by a single thermostat. A red neon indicates that power is available (i.e. isolating

switch is on). The amber neon will go out when the set temperature has been reached.
This unit is designed to accommodate standard 1/1 gastronorm containers (530mm x 325mm) with a

maximum depth of 150mm.

Warning - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

SECTION 2 ­CONTROLS and OPERATION

The main purpose of a bain marie is to store hot food prior to serving. It is to maintain this food at a proper, safe,
serving temperature without it drying out or otherwise detracting from cooked product quality.

The unit is fitted with a thermostat that enables water temperature of the well to be controlled in order to store
food. A drain tap is situated at the front to drain water from the well as required.

It is advised that any food is kept in flanged catering containers that rest around the well edge.
The control knob is marked with graduated positions from 1 to 5. At ⚫ position, detailed in Figure 1, the elements are

turned completely OFF.

Figure 1

Fill the well with clean water to at least the maximum level marked on rear wall. Water should be topped up
relative to depth of container. Ensure container base is in contact with the water in the well to enable warming.

NOTE: For shallow containers, water may require to be
above maximum level.

IMPORTANT – DO NOT OVERFILL. If an empty
container is placed upon the water it may float. Ensure that when cooked food is added to container,
that water will not overflow over well sides.

WARNING – For 150mm deep gastronorm containers, water level should not exceed the
MINIMUM level or it may overflow.

Turn control knob to Setting 4. Water will heat to approximately 90ºC to maintain a safe
holding temperature.

The setting can be adjusted depending on type of food, quantity of food, etc. Thick milky liquids such as custard
and porridge usually require a lower heat setting than vegetables and scrambled egg.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Check water level every hour and top-up as necessary.

WARNING – NEVER LET THE WELL BOIL DRY.
NEVER, under any circumstances switch unit on without filling well with water or

damage may occur.

Ensure lid is placed over container when keeping food hot for a prolonged time. When lid is removed for serving,
increasing the setting can offset any extra loss of heat.

A drain valve is provided to empty the well after use. Ensure valve is closed before filling pan with water.
Refer to Figure 2.

If the appliance boils dry under any circumstance, the safety thermostat may trip. This will stop amber neon and
heating element from switching on until it has been reset.

To reset, first locate button below front panel. Press button using a thin blunt object, such as a short pen.
Allow unit to cool down to continue normal operation.

IMPORTANT – If appliance still fails to heat up or safety thermostat continues to trip, call a
qualified service engineer.
