2. Pour clean, hot water (140°F-180°F) into the water pan to the fill
line stamped on the backside of the pan.
3. Plug in the electric heating element. The element will automatically
start to heat.
4. Place the food pan containing prepared food into the water pan and
close the cover.
5. Regularly monitor the food temperature and water level in the
water pan. Food should remain above 140°F. Water should not fall

for an extended period of time. A warped water pan will
cause poor contact with the heating element and limit
heat transfer to the pan.
