6. Hot Food Holding... Set the heat control knob to no less than “5”. Monitor food temperatures
closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that food be held
at a minimum of 140 F (60 C) (and/or in compliance with the local health codes) to help
prevent bacteria growth. Maintain water level at or near water level mark. Periodically
(approximately 2 hours) remove container of food and check the water level. Add hot water if
needed.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Hot water and steam in the well can burn skin. Use protective gloves,
mitts or potholders when removing food container or cover. Hot food
can also cause burns. Handle hot food carefully.

To maintain appearance and increase the service life, the food warmer should be cleaned at least
daily.

1. Before cleaning or moving, unplug the unit and let it cool completely.

2. Carefully empty the water bath from the well.

3. Wipe the entire well interior with a clean, damp cloth.

4. To avoid damaging the well finish, do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleaners or
scouring pads to clean water deposits from the well.

water, immediately after cleansing. Chemical residue could damage warmer.
