1. Place spillage pans in the well opening.
2. Fill each spillage pan with 2 quarts (approximately) of clean fresh water.
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

serving food.
7. Set the heat control to maintain proper hot holding temperature for
food safety. Regularly check the food temperature. Adjust temperature
controls as necessary.
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.

5. Place a suitable container directly under the drain valve (A) or over a
floor drain. Turn the drain valve (A) to the open position (B) monitoring
the flow of liquid going into the container. Use caution to avoid spills
that may create a slippery condition. Turn drain valve (A) to the closed
position (C) before the container is full. Dispose of the drained water.
