NOTE:
If using fractional size pans, adapter bars must be used to keep steam
from escaping from between pans.
3. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers, and then turning the unit "ON" by setting the heat
control (A) to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 15 minutes.
4. Place container of hot food product, above 140 °F (60 °C), into
preheated equipment.
5. Reduce heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding
temperature and maintain food quality. See food safety precautionary
note.
Food Safety Precautionary 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 if needed.
6. Maintain water level at or near water level mark. Periodically
(approximately 2 hours) remove the container of food and check the
water level. Add hot water if needed. Some models are equipped with a
low water indicator light (B) that illuminates when the water level is low.
When finished using the equipment:
1. Turn the heat control (A) to the "OFF" position and unplug unit. When
removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot holders to
protect hands.
2. Allow the unit and water to cool completely.
3. Place a suitable container directly under the drain valve (C). Turn the
open/close lever to the open position monitoring the flow of liquid going
into the container. Use caution to avoid spills that may create a slippery
condition. Turn open/close lever to the closed position before the
container is full. Dispose of the drained water. Repeat this procedure if
necessary.
4. Follow the CLEANING section of this manual.
