OPERATION
1.
Plug cord into grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage. Electrical shock can occur if appliance is not grounded properly.
2.
Fill each WELL to the fill line located 1” above the bottom of the heat well using very hot water (1" of water = 4 to 4-1/4 cups /
32 to 36 fluid ounces). Monitor throughout the day, as water may need to be added.
3.
Turn the thermostat setting to the “preheat” setting for 20 minutes.
4.
Place the soup in the 1/3rd or 1/6
th
size pan per soup instructions, and install lids.
Do not put food product directly into the Food Warmer WELL. Food must always be placed in a pan.
5.
Stir frequently to evenly distribute heat during heat up. Stirring will reduce the amount of time required for the soup to reach
serving temperatures.
6.
Once the soup has reached the desired serving temperature turn the thermostat setting to “hold”.
Note: It is the responsibility of the operator to monitor the soup for safe cook and serve temperatures.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH WATER IN THE WELLS. WET OPERATION IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN SAFE FOOD
TEMPERATURES, FOR MORE EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION, LOWER OPERATING COSTS AND LONGER TROUBLE FREE SERVICE.
FOOD PANS MUST BE COVERED TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE WHEN FOOD IS NOT BEING SERVED.
