General Information
Toastmaster electric Food Warmers are designed in three categories; drop-in, built in or counter units. The
chart on page 4 will give the specific model you have as well as provide additional statistical information. All
units consist of a stainless steel well or receptacle that is heated by a tubular heating element. They are
designed to accomodate standard food inserts and are capable of storing one or more food products. Toast-
masters Food Warmers may be used as a single unit or banked with other built-in or counter equipment.
Toastmaster Food Warmers are made of the finest material available to provide durability and a safe and
trouble-free operation. However, care in operation and cleaning will provide a longer life for your equipment.
The exterior case of the counter type unit has stainless steel front and sides and aluminized steel on the back.
The top case and mounting flange of the drop-in units are made of welded and reinforced stainless steel and
the case sides are made of aluminized steel.
All Toastmaster Food Warmers meet the standards of the National Sanitation Foundation and are listed by
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Installation
A. Installing Counter Type Units
Care should be taken while uncrating your new Toastmaster Food Warmer to prevent damage and scratching
of the surfaces. First, open the carton by removing all fastening staples. Remove and discard the internal
packing material from the top of the unit. Lift the unit up and out of the carton. Locate any mounting brackets
or other loose items and set aside. You will find four 4” plastic legs with level adjusting feet. To install these
legs, turn the unit on its top or back and screw the legs into the four tapped holes in the bottom. Upright the
unit on your counter, locate the thermostat control knob on the front panel and set in the “OFF” position.
Your installer should be aware of your electrical power as all Toastmaster Food Warmers are provided in
different voltages. This voltage, either 120 . 208 or 240, should have been specified when ordering your
unit(s). All counter units are shipped with a factory installed 36” electrical cord and plug. All Food Warmers
are provided in a single phase only regardless of voltage.

Operation
A. Controls
Controls for Food Warmers vary for different models and the features or intended use of it. A food warmer
doesn’t require extensive operator interface but the following information should be made available to them.
Some of the Food Warmers use a positive off position on the thermostat. This is used to turn the unit off when
not in use. When the unit is on the full range of temperatures described are available for operating.
Model 1527. Heat N’ Hold has a temperature range of 90 to 210 degrees with a positive “off” position.
Model 1529 has an operator control for on and off only. The unit will always operate at the same temperature.
This unit does use a low water alarm to alert the operator to add water.
All the other models of Food Warmers use an eight position control including a positive off position.
