Using Your Appliance
Assembly:

Make sure the buffet server is unplugged and that the temperature dial is set to the OFF or
MIN setting.

Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Switch the appliance on at the outlet. (If outlet is switchable.)
CAUTION:
The buffet server will automatically turn on when plugged into the outlet. The ON/Ready
light will illuminate red to indicate when the power is on.
Temperature Control:
The temperature dial gives you a range of heat settings between MIN and MAX.
1.
Place the prepared food into each one of the warming pans, and adjust the temperature dial
to your desired heat setting.
2.
The ON/Ready light will illuminate red to indicate when the power is on and will go off once
the desired temperature is reached.
Note:
The ON/Ready light will turn on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature.
CAUTION!
Do not leave the appliance unattended while operating and/or while it’s plugged into the
electrical outlet.
Warming Pans:
The Warming Pans can keep food hot for a long period of time, however please be aware of food
hygiene issues when keeping food warm for long periods of time.
Any meat dishes placed in the buffet server must be thoroughly cooked first. Do not place raw meat
into the buffet server.
The warming plates must not be on in excess of 4 hours as they may become very hot. Also It’s at this
point when food begins to dry out and/or the flavour changes.
CAUTION!
When using the warming function for extended periods of time, ALWAYS be careful to
ensure the unit is in the Min setting, as warming food on the Max setting for extended periods of
time will cause it to dry out and become inedible.
