OPERATION
The pie warmer is thermostatically controlled. First, rotate the on/off switch to the
on position. The green pilot light will indicate that the unit has power. On the
PA40L model, the internal light will also illuminate. Then rotate the thermostat knob
to select the desired operating temperature, usually about 85-90°C for pies and
sausage rolls. The thermostat will then cycle on and off to maintain the set
temperature. The amber pilot light will also cycle on and off, indicating when the
warmer is being heated and when the set temperature has been reached.
It is recommended that the pie warmer be pre-heated before placing food inside.
As a guide, pre-heat the pie warmer on the maximum temperature setting for 20
minutes. After this period return the thermostat to the desired operating
temperature.
Please note that the warmer should not be operated without the crumb tray in
position.
It should be emphasised that these units are designed as food warmers. As such,
they are designed for use with freshly baked or refrigerated product.
While it is outside the scope of the design of these units to use them with frozen
products it is highly recommended that, if frozen products are being used, the
products be thawed before being put in the Pie Warmer. If frozen products are
placed in these units significant time should be added to the preparation in order to
produce the desired serving temperature
.
Overall, the general conditions of the Australian and New Zealand Food Standards
Code should be met. At the time of writing these instructions, this standard states
that food must be served below 5°C or above 60°C.
Approximate times for products to reach the desired serving temperature when
thawed foods are placed in a pre-heated unit at 90

C are as follows.
Meat Pies ........... 35-45 mins Sausage Rolls ........... 20 mins
Party Pies .......... 15 mins Pasties/Pockets ........ 15-20 mins
These units are capable of being retrofitted with glass doors on both sides
and can have the glass front swapped to the back. The following
combinations can be achieved:
1. Glass doors back, fixed glass front
2. Glass doors front, fixed glass back
3. Glass doors front, glass doors back
A runner separates the doors at the top. If doors are removed, remember to re-insert
the doors into different runners.
