Halo Heat
®
round wells maintain a constant
and gentle temperature.
Adding water is not
recommended
since water will accelerate the
deterioration of the product and may damage the
unit voiding the warranty.
1. PREHEAT THE ROUND WELL
To operate the round well, turn the knob in
either direction from 'O' until the pointer is on
the desired number setting. To turn off the round
well, turn the knob in either direction until the
pointer is on 'O'.
An indicator light will illuminate
when the knob is turned to the
desired setting. The unit should
be preheated at the
6
setting for a
minimum of
15 minutes
before
loading the unit with hot food pan
insert (not included).
2. LOAD HOT FOODS ONLY
After preheating, place hot foods into the pan
insert and place the pan insert into the heated
well, or exchange the pan insert with a pre-filled
pan insert. The round well is designed for the
purpose of hot food holding, and only hot
food should be placed into the round well. The
round well is not designed to cook food, nor
is it designed to reheat cold food. Potentially
hazardous foods should be held in the round well
at setting 10. If lower settings are used, ensure
the food has maintained safe food temperatures.
Lower settings should be tested by user to ensure
food has maintained safe food temperatures
between 140°F and 160°F (60°C and 71°C).
Before loading food into the round well, use a
pocket-type thermometer to make certain all
products have reached an internal temperature
of 140° to 180°F (60° to 82°C).
If any food product
is not at proper serving temperature, use a Halo
Heat Cook & Hold oven, set at 250° to 275°F (121° to
135°C), or a Combitherm oven to bring the product
within the correct temperature range.
3. RESET THERMOSTAT AS NEEDED
After food is loaded into the round well, it
is necessary to reset the thermostat. Since
proper temperature range depends on the type
of products and the quantities being held,
it is necessary to periodically use a pocket
thermometer to check the food to make certain the
correct temperatures are being maintained. Proper
temperature range is between a minimum of 140°F
and 180°F (60°C and 82°C).
4. SERVE FRESH, HOT FOOD
Keep hot foods looking fresh. Occasionally stir or
rotate food as needed. Wipe spills immediately to
ensure maximum eye appeal and to ease end of
day cleanup.
