OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not operate this equipment without water in the wells.
NOTICE: Do not operate this equipment without posts, shelf and
legs or casters properly installed. The heating
compartment must be separated from the supporting
surface of the unit.
1. Position the equipment on a level, flat and stable surface.
2. Fill each well with water.
• 480W units: perform best with a maximum of 2 quarts (1.9L)
• All other units: to the fill line, approximately 4 quarts (3.8L)
NOTICE: Do not overfill the wells.
3. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet that matches the rated
voltage on the nameplate.
NOTICE: Using a voltage other than the nameplate rated voltage
will cause damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage,
modification to the power cord or electrical components
can damage unit and will void the warranty.
4. Preheat the water in the wells by covering them with empty food
containers or covers. Set the heat control to the maximum heat
setting. Preheat for 60 minutes.
5. Place the containers of hot food into the preheated food warmer
wells. To prevent spills, do not overfill the food containers.
6. Set the heat control to maintain safe food holding temperature.
NOTICE: Monitor food temperatures closely for food safety. The
United States Public Health Service recommends that hot
food be held at a minimum of 140° F (60° C) to help
prevent bacteria growth.
7. Maintain the water level at approximately 1" (2.5 cm) deep.
Periodically (approximately every 2 hours) remove the containers of
food and check the water level. Add hot water if needed.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water level at or below the required level. If level is too
high, water may overflow when the food container is inserted.
The overflow could enter the electrical compartment and cause
a short circuit or electric shock.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not use this equipment if any well has been removed.
Contact with any metal part could cause an electrical shock
resulting in severe injury or death.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Hot water and steam in the well can burn skin. Use protective
gloves, mitts or potholders when removing food containers or
covers. Hot food can also cause burns. Handle hot food
carefully.
