B. Normal Operation (all modes except 1527H and 1527TH)
Be sure the control knob is set in the “OFF” position, then energize the unit at the main disconnect. For wet
applications fill the unit with approximately 1” of Hot water and turn the control knob disal to the high position
for 25 to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, set the control knob at the desired setting. Always keep insert pans in
place or cover the unit to conserve heat and to prevent water evaporation. Most units should operate approxi-
mately 24 hours before the need to add water. You should maintain at least a 1/4” water level. Remember,
never place food items directly in the receptacle without the use of the insert pan(s). For dry applications,
merely set the insert vessel into the food warmer.
D. Models 1527H & 1527TH “Heat N’ Hold”
As mentioned earlier these models only require approximately 18 minutes to heat the water and the food
in the insert pan. This model is designed for the purpose of heating the food and then holding it at the serving
temperature you desire. Fill the warming unit with about 2 1/3 quarts of water. Place food in the Heat N’ Hold
and turn control knob to high. The amber light cycles on and off with the heater. After approximately 18
minutes turn the control knob to a minimum of 150°F for holding. Always keep the heating element covered
with water to insure proper heat transfer. “Dry” running of the unit will substantially lower the temperature in
the insert pan. Check the water level daily. Do not overfill or the the water will boil and splash out over the
side. Never place food products directly in the warmer well. Common uses of the “Heat N’ Hold” units are
soup, chili, hot chocolate or vegetables. Thicker foods, such as chili or hot chocolate will heat faster if stirred
occasionally during the heating process.
E. Operating Hints
Operating hints include the following. Using these hints will allow you to achieve the best performance
and most economical operation for your Food Warmer. When operating wet, always use hot or warm water
to speed up the preheat time. Do not use too much or too little water. Too little water will hinder the heat
transfer required to maintain the food temperature where too much water will tend to spill out over the top of
the food well. Keep the cover on the food insert pand and the entire food well as as much as possible to avoid
lost heat. Always set the controls to the off position when the unit is not preheating or in use.
Section IV
Always unplug or disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
A. Cleaning
(See separate section for cleaning 1527TH & 1527TH).
Food warmers should be cleaned frequently to remove scale and prevent build up. Vinegar and water or
a commercial de-scaling agent may be used. We recommend the food warmers be emptied daily and washed
with soapy water, rinse and wiped dry. Extreme care should be taken wile cleaning so that the electrical
components do not get wet. Never submerse the unit in water.
