USING YOUR HOT FOOD TABLE
OPERATION INSTRUCTION FOR HOT FOOD TABLE
1. PREHEAT - To preheat individual sections, turn the switch dial to 6 for 10 - 20 minutes
before the foods are placed in the compartments. Insure that pan openings are covered to
prevent loss of heat.
a. Water – Is not necessary for this model. Air heating is easier and quicker to heat than
water makes the waterless steam table faster and more economical to operate than a
table using water. Foods can be kept moist by keeping them at the correct temperature.
Foods dry out only when excessive temperatures are reached, so when foods tend to
dry out, REDUCE HEAT.
2. If only part of the food warmers is needed, the compartment not in use does not need to be
heated.
3. SWITCH SETTINGS
a. The most satisfactory switch settings must be determined by experience based on the
nature of the foodservice and the type of operation as well as individual preference of
the restaurant operator. The proper switch setting necessary to keep foods at the
desired temperature will vary dependent upon the frequency of turnover, size of food
containers, amount of food in each container, room temperature, location of food
warmer with respect to range or other heated equipment, air outlets, fans, doors and
passageways.
