HOW TO USE
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Buffet Server features,
Figure A. Wash removable parts in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Clean the
warming tray base with a mild detergent and a soft moist cloth. Do not use any
scouring agents! DO NOT SUBMERGE THE WARMING BASE OR LET THE
PLUG COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER. Rinse and wipe dry. Do not allow
water to spill or seep into the frame.
I
nitial Use:
Heat the warming base without foods on it for approximately 10 minutes at
maximum setting in order to seal the special coating. Temporary smoking is
normal during initial use.
Subsequent Use:
1. The heating element is equipped with a variable thermostat knob. Heat range
is from 155
0
to 205
0
F, to keep foods at serving temperatures. For best results,
use maximum heat setting to quickly reach your desired temperature, then
adjust to desired temperature.
2. The light will come on only during heat cycle. Due to the low wattage necessary
for warming trays, it can be 20-30 minutes before the light cycles off.
3. You may use the unit either fully assembled with steam pans, (Figure A) or
use the warming base alone as a warming tray (Figure B).
4. If using steam pans, place the steam pan holder on the warming base before
placing the steam pans in place.
5. The unit comes with three 2.6 quart (Models WTBS-3/3P) or two 4.3 quart
(Models WTBS-2/2P) or four 4.3 quart (Models WTBS-4/4P) or three 2.6 quart
& two 4.3 quart stainless steam pans. Each 2.6 quart steam pan will hold about
20 four ounce servings; the 4.3 quart pans each hold over 30 four ounce servings.
6. Food placed on warming base or in steam pans should be fully cooked and
already hot. Buffet Servers are designed for keep-warm function only.
To
retain heat and moisture in foods, keep lids on chafing dishes when not
serving.
7. Foods containing little or no liquid should be kept warm on Low setting, and
stirred periodically.
8. If using the unit as a regular warming tray without the steam pans, be sure
to use containers that are heatproof. Note: The base is not designed to keep
large, deep pots full of food or liquid warm.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Cadco Buffet Server!
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using
electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always use hot pads or pot holders until
unit cools.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse tray base, cord
or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
or storing the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return the appliance to the Cadco Factory Service Department
(ca
ll 860-738-2500 first) for examination, repair or adjustment. In
Canada call (905) 825-9665.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains
hot oil or other hot liquid.
12. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the
finish of your unit.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC DISHES OR PLASTIC WRAP ON TRAY .
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce
the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in
their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
The high-tech warming surface will remain unblemished for a long time with
appropriate care. The warming surface and high-grade, long-life stainless steam
pans allow for an attractive alternative for keeping appetizers and other foods
warm. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Metal utensils
may be used with care but should not be used to cut food on the cooking surfaces.
