DRY OPERATION WITH COVER
1. Plug unit into appropriate electrical power supply receptacle.
2. With openings covered, set dial on highest position for 45 minutes to preheat unit.

During initial start up, smoke or odor may be detected (a small amount). This will occur when the coating
on the heating element burns off and should stop approximately a half hour after start up.
4.
Place precooked food (minimum 160°F) in food pans, place in openings and cover with lids. (Indicator light
is the set point for the control knob).
5. Adjust to desired setting for proper food temperature. This will vary with the type of food, size of pans and
individual serving temperatures. NSF requires food to be a minimum of 150°F.
6. To increase temperature, turn knob toward highest setting. To decrease, turn toward lowest setting.
7. Food pans should be covered to maintain temperature when food is not being served and to prevent food
from drying out.
