- Place precooked food into the trays or bowls.
- Once you have finished using the warming tray, turn the temperature control all the way to the left (min) and unplug the warmer.

When removing cooked items from the warming tray, BE CAREFUL AS THEY MAY BE HOT. Wear gloves when touching hot containers.
Additional Operating Instructions and Tips
- Remember that this appliance intended to warm food, not cook it.
- Maintain all cooked foods at a minimum of 60˚C / 140˚F to help prevent any food borne illness. It is recommended to regularly check the temperature of the food with a food thermometer whilst serving.
- As food will vary in consistency, it may be necessary to adjust the controls accord-ingly to maintain a temperature of 60°C / 140˚F. Likewise, you may need to adjust the temperature to avoid over or under-heating the pre-cooked food.
- Temperatures may fluctuate as the food is being served.
- Food should not be left on the warmer for an extended period of time, especially if it is not covered. Recommended max time is 2-3 hours.
- Fill dishes no more than two-thirds full to help prevent hot food spillages.
- Never move or lift the heated base while dishes or containers are still on the warming tray!
- Use suitable containers such as stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, or glass.
- The max temperature for this surface is 110˚C / 230˚F. Ensure that any containers used can withstand heat beyond this temperature. Likewise, make sure that the surface the unit is placed on can withstand this temperature. Otherwise, a heat resistant mat or coaster will need to be used to avoid damaging the surface or causing a safety hazard.
- Lids may be used on the containers, but do not cover the surface of the product with anything other than containers designed for heating/warming food.
