INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
The heating elements are appliances for keeping dishes for food containers hot and must
only be used by professionally qualified personnel in the way indicated in this instruction
manual. Any other improper use can be dangerous.
3 STARTING UP
ATTENTION: when the appliance is working the operator must keep it under
constant supervision!!!
3.1 SWITCHING THE BASIC HEATING ELEMENT ON AND OFF
Press the switch in the "ON" position. The indicator light that the heating element is
provided with will come on.
The green light means that the appliance is powered and the heating elements are
working.
To switch off, press the switch in the "OFF" position.
3.2 SWITCHING THE THERMOSTAT-CONTROLLED HEATING ELEMENT ON AND OFF
Turn the knob of the switch to the desired position between minimum and maximum. Both
indicator lights will come on. The green indicator light shows that electricity is being
supplied to the appliance, while the yellow indicator light shows that the heating element is
and will be operating until the temperature has been reached. To turn it off, turn the knob
counter-clockwise until the switch clicks in position "0".
4. MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND CARE
Always disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains before embarking on
any maintenance work.
Have a specialised technician check the condition of the appliance at least twice a year,
with particular emphasis on the effectiveness of the control and safety devices.
Clean the steel parts daily.
Any contact with ferrous materials, both continuous and occasional, must be avoided at all
costs as such materials can corrode. This means that ladles, spatulas, spoons, etc., must
be in stainless steel.
For the same reason, avoid cleaning the stainless steel parts with steel wool, brushes or
scrapers made of ordinary steel. Stainless steel wool can be used, rubbing it in the
direction of the grain.
Do not wash the bain-marie cooker with direct jets of water or water at high pressure as
some of the water could infiltrate through to the electric components and both the
appliance and safety devices could malfunction.
