FEATURES AND CONTROLS
OPERATION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water level at or below the required level. If level is too
high, water may overflow when the food container is inserted.
The overflow could enter the electrical compartment and cause
a short circuit or electric shock.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces while
equipment is heating or operating.
NOTICE: If using fractional size pans, adapter bars must be used to
keep steam from escaping from between pans.
NOTICE: NOTICE: 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.
NOTICE: Do not add cold food to rethermalizing or hot food.
NOTICE: Do not operate without water.
Rethermalize Cooked, Chilled Food
1. Fill the well to the correct water level mark with clean fresh water. Do
not over fill.
2. Preheat the water in the wells by covering the wells with covers or
empty food containers. Set the heat control to the maximum heat
setting. Set the heat control to the maximum heat setting. Preheat
for 15 minutes.
3. Place covered container(s) of chilled food into the equipment.
NOTICE: To reach the required safe food temperature as quickly
as possible, do not add water or remove food pans
during the rethermalization process.
4. During the rethermalization process, monitor food temperatures
closely for food safety.
5. Reduce the heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding
temperature and maintain food quality.
6. Maintain the water level at or near the water level mark. Vollrath
recommends periodically (approximately 2 hours) removing the
container of food and checking the water level. Add hot water if
needed.

Hold Cooked, Hot Food
1. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers, and then turning the unit ON and setting the
heat control to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 15 minutes.
2. Place container of hot, above 140 °F (60 °C), food into preheated
equipment.
3. Reduce the heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding
temperature and maintain food quality.
4. Maintain the water level at or near the water level mark. The low
water indicator light illuminates when the water level is low.
However, Vollrath recommends periodically remove the container of
food and check the water level. Add hot water if needed.
When Finished Using the Equipment
1. Turn the heat control to lowest setting.
2. Unplug the equipment.
3. Remove the food containers. Use gloves, mitts or pot holders to
protect hands.
4. Allow the equipment and water to cool completely.
5. Empty the water.
6. Clean the equipment. See "Cleaning."
