GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

11W MODELS

These warmers are designed to use stainless steel serving bowls purchased as an option.
Follow these simple steps for setting up the warmer:

1. Before using warmer clean the water food bowl and any accessories furnished with warmer.

2. Fill the warmer bowl with 24 to 36 ounces of water. Add water as required to maintain water
level.

3. Place precooked food into a standard 11quart inset and insert into water bowl.

4. Turn warmer on. The temperature control on these warmers is a combination ON/OFF switch
and thermostatic heat control. The OFF position will turn off the electric current to the heating
element.

5. If preheating is desired set the control to the "HI" position for approximately 10

minutes. Prolonged "HI" setting may result in overcooking or scorching of certain foods.

6. On pump models with a heated spout, pre-heat fudge or cheese before inserting pump. Pump
will not function if fudge or cheese is too thick.

7. Set the dial setting to the number required to maintain the desired temperature.

8. Because the consistency of different foods varies, and because liquids and solids absorb heat
at different rates, it is impractical to specify an exact dial setting. However, at the point between

gures "3" and "4" the temperature is approximately 145
fudge. When the dial is set at the gure "5" the temperature is approximately 170

holding temperature for cheese sauce. After pre-heating, set the thermostat to the desired
temperature.

9. Turn the control knob to the "OFF" position when the unit is not in use.

10. Do not keep unit on high heat for more than 45 minutes, as the food product may become
overheated.

CAUTION

DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT ON HIGH HEAT FOR MORE THAN 45
MINUTES. FOODS MAY BECOME OVERHEATED.

DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATED SPOUT WITHOUT HEAT INSULATING
MITTENS OR OTHER MEANS OF BURN PREVENTION.

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT WATER. CHECK WATER LEVEL
FREQUENTLY.

PUMP SPOUT HEATER

The pump spout heater casting keeps cheese left in the pump spout at or above 140oF when warmer
is allowed to heat for 40 minutes prior to vending through pump. This prevents dispensing cold, dried
cheese.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR BETTER SERVICE

The food product you serve in this warmer, as packed by the manufacturer, represents
a high standard of quality and this quality should be protected by following the

recommendations of the packer in serving of the product.
