Operating Instructions
Please note that not all units are heated.
Hot Cupboard
Plug machine in to power supply. The red indicator light will show to indicate power
to the unit.
Turn the cabinet dial to the required setting, the right-hand side green lamp will
show indicating power to the element, this will extinguish when the desired
temperature is reached.
This procedure will be repeated automatically as the thermostat maintains a constant
temperature. The cabinet temperature is shown on the digital display on the fascia
When loading the machine please leave some space around the rack to give good airflow,
never cover racks with tin foil, otherwise the efficiency of the machine will be reduced.
Operating the quartz lamp gantry (not all units come with the “Chef Rack” gantry)
Units which have quartz lamp gantry have two mains power cables.
Ensure both power cables are plugged in to the mains and turned on
To turn on the lamp gantry use the on/off switch on the fascia.
Bain Maries
If the unit has a bain marie it can be used either wet or dry.
Please note that if the bain marie is being used wet, please ensure the drain tap is closed
before filling the bain marie tank with water.

Parry-British Built for Purpose
IN133-7
Operating Instructions
For initial heat up turn bain marie dial to the high setting until the green light
extinguishes (dry approximately 15 mins, wet approximately 60 mins)
The green lamp will illuminate showing there is power to the element, this will not
extinguish on this setting.
After this period turn the control to the desired heat setting, the green lamp will
extinguish when the desired temperature is reached. This procedure will be
repeated automatically as the simmerstat maintains a constant temperature.
Place the hot food into the containers and replace the cover.
Customers are asked to note that the bigger the bain marie the longer it will take to heat up.
The bain marie will heat up faster if used dry.
MSB18 & MSF18 will provide the best performance when used wet.
On the 1800mm unit, if used wet the heat up time is expected to be around two hours. This
process can be sped up by filling the bain marie with hot water.

Cleaning Instructions
The appliance should be cleaned after every use.
Allow unit to cool down before cleaning
Turn off unit at the mains power.
With the containers removed wipe down the machine with a soft cloth, do not use
abrasive materials.
Stainless steel cleaners maybe used and cleaning instructions on the product must be
adhered to.
To clean inside the cabinet, the doors can be removed. Simply take hold of the handle
on the door and supporting the other side of the door lift the door upward until the
bottom of the door clears the bottom rail of the cabinet. Then tilt the door so the
bottom of the door comes forward, this allows the door to slide down and away from
the unit
The two bottom door rails can be easily lifted out to wipe down.
The inner shelves and element cover can be removed easily as they have been designed
in three sections. The element tray holds the doors in position; therefore, it is advisable
