operating position of around 2 to 2½ should suffice, but experience will dictate the
best position for the particular food being displayed.
Please note:
Care should be taken while operating dry not to leave the
energy regulator on HIGH for extended periods. The build-up of excessive
heat may damage the thermometer and significantly overheat the food
contents in the pans.
WET OPERATION (MODELS BM1, BM2, BM21 AND BM4)
For wet operation, the most important factor is the volume of water placed in the
tank. The tank should be filled with fresh clean water to a level where it just
touches the bottom of the element. The water level should
not
be so high as to
touch the undersides of the pan. If the water level is too high, performance will be
compromised.
Once the water has been placed in the tank, place all the pans in the Bain Marie.
Rotate the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Turn the energy regulator to
high
and pre-heat the Bain Marie, bringing the water up to a temperature of
approximately 65-70°C. As a guide this will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
When the water has reached this temperature, the food may be placed in the pans
and the energy regulator can be returned to a lower, operating value. As for dry
operation, around 2 to 2½ should suffice, but experience will dictate the best
position for the particular food being displayed.
OPERATION - MODELS WITH THERMOSTAT CONTROL
MODELS BM1T, BM2T, BM21T AND BM4T
These models function in the same manner as the models BM1, BM2, BM21 and
BM4 but are controlled by a thermostat instead of an energy regulator.
Note: These models can only be used for WET OPERATION.
The thermometer on the control panel has been designed to function as a guide for
operation only. It reflects the temperature beneath the pans. The thermometer does
not
directly reflect the temperature of the food in the pans.
Generally, the operating instruction for models BM1, BM2 & BM4 that are without
thermostat control can be followed for the BM1T, BM2T and BM4T, with the
exception of the control settings. The control settings for the “T” models are
outlined below.
IMPORTANT
: When using wet, only use clean distilled or filtered water. Hard
Water (water with a high mineral content), Bore water or other poor quality water
can cause accelerated corrosion and may void warranty.
