OPERATION
General
The THERM-Max Salamander is equipped with two main
functions, COOK and HOlD. On both models, the COOK
function uses the full intensity of the overhead, “instant on”
heating elements to cook food. On TMS-1H models, the HOlD
function operates the overhead heating elements at a lower
intensity to maintain the cooking temperature reached during
the cooking cycle.
Use the following information and procedures to operate the
THERM-Max Salamander.
Read all safety messages in the IMPORTANT SAFETy
