• Use only on flat, level surfaces.
• Unplug warmer and let cool before cleaning or moving.

Function and Purpose –
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH WATER IN THE WELL. WET OPERATION
IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN SAFE FOOD ZONE TEMPERATURES (NSF), FOR MORE EVEN HEAT
DISTRIBUTION, LOWER OPERATING COSTS AND LONGER TROUBLE FREE SERVICE. FOOD PANS MUST BE
COVERED TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE WHEN FOOD IS NOT BEING SERVED.
Operations:
1. Place the unit on a flat stable surface.
2. Fill the well with approximately 1 inch or 4 quarts of water. Do not allow water level to go higher than this. The food
warmer will work most efficiently when used with water.
Warning
Electric Shock Hazard
Keep water level at or below soup turines. If the water level is too high, water may overflow when the food
containers are inserted. The overflow could enter the electrical compartment and may cause a short
circuit or electric shock.
3. Plug cord into a grounded 110 to 120 volt electrical outlet.
4. Preheat the water in the well by covering the well with an empty food container or cover and set heat control knob to
the maximum heat setting for the recommended time listed below.
• 15 minutes if well was filled with HOT water.
• 25 minutes if well was filled with COLD water.
5. Place stainless steel 4-quart insets of food into unit. Cover inset with lid. To prevent spills, do not overfill the food
container.
6. For the function of hot food holding, set the heat control knob to the desired setting. Monitor food temperatures
closely for food safety. The United States Public Heath Service recommends that food be held at 150 to 160°F or
above to help prevent the growth of organisms.
THE INSETS MUST BE COVERED TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES WHEN FOOD IS NOT BEING
SERVED.
7. During normal operation for food holding periodically remove container and check water level. Add hot water if
necessary. Stir occasionally.
