Buffet Induction Warmers Operator’s Manual
OPERATION
1. Place the induction-ready serving vessel containing food in the
center of the warmer.
NOTICE: Do not pre-heat empty serving vessels. Because of the
speed and efficiency of the induction warmer, serving
vessels can very quickly overheat and be damaged.
NOTICE: Do not drop utensils or other objects onto the heating
surface. The strong, non-porous surface can break. The
warranty does not cover this type of abuse.
2. Press the POWER button. The DISPLAY panel will show a power
level. When an induction ready serving vessel is placed on the
heating surface, the DISPLAY panel will remain on. This indicates
the equipment is heating.
Adjusting the Power Level
1. Press the POWER button to turn on the equipment.
2. Place an induction-ready serving vessel on the warmer.
3. Press the POWER button to increase or decrease the power level.
Suggested Power Level Settings
The ideal power level is dependent on the size and density of the food,
desired serving temperature, serving vessel, ambient temperature, etc.
The following are general guidelines.
To use a serving vessel directly on the induction warmer:
1. Place the serving vessel containing food directly on the induction
warmer.
2. Select a power level to hold the food at serving temperature.
To use a chafer on the induction warmer:
1. Fill the chafer bath with clean, hot water. Refer to the chafer
manufacturer’s operator’s manual for proper fill level.
2. Place the chafer with water bath on the induction warmer.
3. Select power level 4 to preheat the water.
4. When the water reaches the desired temperature, add the food pan
containing hot food.
5. Change the power level setting to a power level to hold the food at
serving temperature.
Turning Off the Warmer
1. Press and hold the POWER button until the equipment turns off, at
which time the POWER button will no longer be illuminated.
Over Heat Protection
This equipment is equipped with an Over Heat Protection feature. If the
heating surface becomes too hot, the warmer will stop heating. The
four LED power level lights will flash to indicate the Over Heat
Protection feature has activated. If the LEDs are flashing, see the
Troubleshooting section in this manual.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the
equipment. Liquid inside the equipment could cause an
electrical shock. Do not spray water or cleaning products.
Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a
short circuit or an electrical shock. If liquid spills or boils over
onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit and remove serving
vessel. Wipe up any liquid with a padded cloth.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Do not touch serving vessel, heating surface, food or liquid
while heating. Hot food and liquids can burn skin. Induction
heating surfaces heat very rapidly. Use caution when adding
pre-heated oil or liquid to other food already in the serving
vessel.
