OPERATION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the
equipment. Liquid inside the equipment could cause an
electrical shock.
Do not over fill wells, pans or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical
components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Unplug
unit before performing service, draining or removing spillage pans and
trays. Do not spray water or cleaning products. Do not use a power
cord that has been modified or damaged.
When Finished Using the Equipment:
1. Turn the heat control to lowest setting.
2. Turn off and unplug the equipment.

CLEANING
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces while
equipment is heating or operating.
NOTICE: If using fractional size pans, adapter bars must be used to
keep steam from escaping from between pans.
NOTICE: NOTICE: Monitor food temperature closely for food safety.
The United States Public Health Service recommends that
hot food be held at a minimum of 140 ºF (60 ºC) to help
prevent bacteria growth. Maintain correct water level and
temperature setting. Periodically remove food container
and check the water level. Add water if needed.
NOTICE: Do not add cold food to rethermalizing or hot food.
Rethermalize Cooked, Chilled Food
1. Fill the well to the correct level water mark with clean fresh water.
Correct level is about 1” (2.5 CM) of water. Do not over fill.
2. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers, and then turning the unit ON and setting the
heat control to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 15 minutes.
3. Place covered container(s) of chilled food into the equipment.
To reach the required safe food temperature as quickly as
possible, do not add water or remove food pans during the
rethermalization process.
4. During the rethermalization process, monitor food temperatures
closely for food safety.
5. Reduce the heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding
temperature and maintain food quality.
6. Maintain the water level at or near the water level mark. The low
water indicator light illuminates when the water level is low.
However, Vollrath recommends periodically (approximately 2 hours)
remove the container of food and check the water level. Add hot
water if needed.
