Troubleshooting
Questions
Answers
Why has the ON/
Ready light turned off?
Make sure the appliance is plugged into the outlet and that the outlet
switch is on (if switchable). If the appliance is on and you’ve already
selected your heat setting then the light has turned off because the
appliance has reached the selected temperature.
Can you preheat the
buffet server?
Yes, turn on the appliance and select your heat setting with the
temperature dial. The ON/Off light will turn off once the temperature has
been reached.
How long can the
buffet server safely
stay on?
The buffet server must be on for NO LONGER than 4 hours to avoid
injury or damage since its surface can become very hot.
Can I use the buffet
server without the
warming pans and
frame?
Yes, please refer to the Using The Hotplate Without Warming Pans And
Frame section on above.
