AUTOFILL WARMERS
1. Autofill warmers sense water level by a sensor placed at the
proper level. For manifolded autofill warmers, the water level
sensor / fill tube is in one pan only, normally in the far left pan.
2. Water fills the pan through an inlet tube. For manifolded
autofill warmers, the fill tube is normally in the far left pan. All
other sections fill at the same time through the drain manifold.
3. The autofill function is active only when the thermostat for the
pan with the water level sensor is turned
ON
.
4. Make sure the drain valve is fully closed before turning any
thermostats
ON
.
5. The autofill function is only activated when the far left
thermostat
is
turned
ON
. For manifolded autofill warmers, be
sure to turn far left thermostats
ON
before turning any other
control
ON
, to avoid heating a dry pan.
6. DO NOT use autofill warmers in the dry mode. This may
damage the water level sensor probe. NEVER turn the
thermostat
ON
for the pan with the probe and fill tube unless
the entire warmer unit is to be used in the wet mode.
7. Clean water level sensor daily to maintain water level in
warmer.
WARMERS WITH MANIFOLDED DRAIN
1. Manifolded warmers have a single drain valve.
2. Water poured into any one section will seek the same water
level with all sections on the manifold.
3. Make sure the drain valve is fully closed before filling warmer.
PRE-HEATING THE WARMER
1. Place desired pan(s) or inset(s) with appropriate adapter top on
warmer.
a. Insets are available as accessories in 2½ qt., 4qt., 7 qt.,
and 11 qt. sizes with lids and adapter tops.
b. For dry operation, a 6” deep pan or inset is recommended.
2. Turn temperature control to HI or highest temperature setting.
3. Allow warmer to preheat for approximately 30 minutes, then set
the control for the desired temperature. Be sure to keep the
warmer covered during preheat and operation.
OPERATION
1. Always use an inset.
DO NOT
place food directly into the
warmer.
2. Check water level in wet-operation warmer frequently during
use. Running warmers dry will lower the temperature of the
food in the insert pan, and may damage the warmer.
3. Alternating between wet and dry operation in any individual
warmer
is
NOT
recommended.
4.
DO NOT
use metal tools, steel wool, or caustic or abrasive
cleanser to clean warmer pan.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
CAUTION:
SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT splash or pour water
onto control panel or wiring.
Always use an inset.
DO NOT
place food directly
into the warmer.
Always pour hot water into the
warmer before it is
preheated.
DO NOT
pour
water into a dry, heated
warmer. This may damage
the unit.
DO NOT
put ice into a
warmer pan. This will cause
condensation on the inside of
the warmer. Damage caused
by condensation is
NOT
covered by warranty.
Stir thick food items frequently
to keep food heated uniformly.
Keep insets covered to
maintain food quality and
temperature.
DO NOT use autofill
warmers in the dry mode.
This may damage the water
level sensor. NEVER turn the
thermostat
ON
for the pan
with the sensor and fill tube
unless the entire warmer unit
is to be used in the wet mode.
