illnesses, all hot and/or warm foods should be
maintained at 140°F or above.

Hints and Tips
nUse the buffet server to keep food warm while
preparing other foods.
nFoods containing little or no liquid should be kept
on the “LOW” setting, stirring occasionally.
nWhen using the appliance as just a warming tray, be
sure to use containers that are heat proof. NOTE:
The warming tray is not designed to keep large,
deep pots of food or liquid warm.
nThe warming tray is ideal for keeping shallow pans
warm right from the oven.
nDo not fill trays more than 2/3full.
nThis appliance is not intended for use by people
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have supervision or
have been given instructions concerning the use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the appliance.
nThe buffet trays are oven safe. The lids are not.
nWhen serving warm or hot food, you can warm the
buffet trays in the oven prior to putting food inside
to help keep the temperature higher during the initial
setting.
NOTE: The surface temperature of the warming tray
will be much higher than the buffet tray ranges in
order to transfer the heat from the warming tray to the
buffet servers.
NOTE: Extended use over long periods of time at high
temperatures may cause discoloration of the buffet
trays and scorching may occur on the warming tray.
