WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Keep water and other liquids from entering the
inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause
an electrical shock. Do not damaged power cord.
Do not over fill wells, pans or trays. Liquid could contact the
electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical
shock. Unplug unit before performing service, draining or removing
spillage pans and trays. Do not spray water or cleaning products.
Do not use a power cord that has been modified or damaged.
WARNING
Burn Hazard.
Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces
while equipment is heating or operating.
Hot surfaces, steam and food can burn skin. Allow the hot surfaces
to cool before handling. Do not drop or spill water onto the cooking
surface as it can spray or splatter.
1. Check the drain valve(s) (D) to verify it is in the CLOSED position
to prevent water from draining out. See Figure 1. The valve is in the
CLOSED position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body
of the valve.
2. Fill each spillage pan with 3 quarts (approximately) of clean fresh water.
Always maintain water in the well. Do not over fill.
3. Plug electrical power cord into a grounded outlet matching the nameplate
rated voltage.
4. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers. Turn the temperature control (A) to the maximum
heat setting. Preheat for 60 minutes.
5. Place container of hot food product, above 140 °F (60 °C), into
preheated equipment. Do not use food pans deeper than 4” (10 cm).
6. Reduce heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding
temperature and maintain food quality. See food safety precautionary
note.
NOTE:
Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States
Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum
of 140 ºF (60 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth. Maintain correct water
level and temperature setting. Periodically remove food container and
check the water level. Add water in needed.
7. During operation, maintain water level. Periodically (approximately 2
hours) remove container of food and check the water level. Add hot
water if needed.
8. When finished using the unit turn the heat control (A) to the “0” setting
and unplug unit.
9. When removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot
holders to protect hands.
10. Allow the unit and water to cool completely before removing and
cleaning.

OPEN position when the handle of the valve is aligned with the body of
the valve.
4. Use a damp cloth or sponge dipped in soapy water to clean the inside of
the well and the outside of the equipment.
5. Thoroughly rinse equipment with water after cleaning.
6. Close the drain valve(s) (D). Rotate the valve to the CLOSED position,
when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.
