CONTROL PANEL

The control panel has one temperature control button, and a power indicator light.

?

  When the unit is plugged in, the power light will illuminate and stay lit as long as 

the unit is plugged in. 

This light does NOT indicate that the unit is WARMING.

?

  Press the button one time for 

LOW

 setting (140°F). The word 

LOW

 will light up in 

blue.

?

  Press again for 

MEDIUM

 setting (175°F).  The word 

MED

 will light up in blue.

?

  Press again for 

HIGH

 setting (200°F).  The word 

HIGH

 will light up in blue.

?

  Press a fourth time to shut the Perfect Temp off.  None of the words will be lit up 

but the power indicator light will stay lit.

?

  For best results, always preheat your Perfect Temp; see “Preheating the Perfect 

Temp” section below.

MOIST TO CRISP VENTING SYSTEM

?

  The Perfect Temp has two distinct modes.  One, the 

MOIST

 setting, seals the 

food's moisture in the warming chamber, helping maintain the juiciness of the 
food.  The 

CRISP

 setting allows moisture to vent out of the chamber, keeping 

foods crisp.

?

  The 

MOIST TO CRISP

 slide opens and closes vents located on the top of the 

upper unit. 

?

  When warming a combination of crisp and moist food, position the slide to the 

middle of the range for optimal results.

?

  

DO NOT BLOCK

 the vents on the top of the unit.

?

  Use caution when moving the slide to the crisp setting as any internal moisture 

will be released as steam via the vents and could cause burns or discomfort.

PREHEATING

?

  For best results, always preheat your Perfect Temp.  Preheat times vary for 

LOW

 

to

 HIGH

 settings.  Slide the vent to the 

MOIST

 setting for more efficient 

preheating.

Preheating times:
• Low = 5 minutes
• Medium = 10 minutes
• High = 15 minutes

?

  Keep the number of times the door is opened to a minimum to maintain the 

temperature in the Perfect Temp.

POSITIONING THE RACK

?

  There are 4 rack positions in the Perfect Temp.

?

  The chamber can be divided equally in half by using the middle position.  

?

  Adjust to fit taller or shorter dishes by placing the rack in the upper or lower slots.

?

  Place the rack in the lowest position when using deep dishes, when warming 

empty plates, or when placing plastic items in the unit to insure they do not come 
into contact with the warming base. 

?

  The interior is 17¾” X 15¾” X 7”. With the use of the included wire rack for 

stacking, the capacity can include 4 dinner plates with food, or two 14” pizzas, 
two 2 qt. casserole dishes, two 9” X 13” casserole dishes, or two 12” X 16” meat 
platters. Without the wire rack, larger plates of food can be accommodated such 
as a roast or chicken.

?

  CAUTION: When using plastic containers, DO NOT place them directly on the 

Perfect Temp base.  Always use the rack in the lowest position for plastic and 
always use the LOW setting.
