MAINTAIN SAFE
HOT FOOD HOLDING

•

After food reaches safe serving temperature
of 165°F (74°C), maintain product
temperature at or above 150°F (66°C).

• Adjust controller if needed to avoid
overheating food.

NSF International and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) list this unit as a
“Rethermalization and Hot Food Holding unit (Standard 4).”

Rethermalization of food products is achieved by
this appliance when it elevates the food product
temperature from a refrigerated 40°F (4°C) to a
safe serving temperature of 165°F (74°C) within a
period of 2 hours.

Hot Food Holding is achieved with this appliance
when it maintains a food product temperature at or
above 150°F (66°C), in all locations throughout the
product, for a minimum of 2 hours, even if any lid,
cover, or pump is removed. The lid, cover, or pump is
recommended to help maintain product temperature.

MONITOR FOOD CLOSELY FOR FOOD SAFETY.

The United States Public Health Service
recommends that hot food be held at a minimum
of 140°F (60°C) to help prevent bacteria growth.

COLD FOOD IS NOT TO BE ADDED TO THE
UNIT FOR RETHERMALIZATION WHILE HOT
FOOD IS BEING HELD.
