cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If a long cord
set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating or the
appliance. In longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

( NOTE : Optional 4″ deep pans NOT meant for use with meats unless only
filled halfway)
There are separate controls for each HOT buffet server. Turn desired hot
buffet server knob on the control panel to the ON position. Turn the variable
thermostat knob counterclockwise to maximum setting. Heat the warming base
without foods on it for approximately 10 minutes in order to seal the special
coating. (Only top level of the cart in buffet server area heats up.)
Temporary smoking is normal during initial use.
Subsequent Use:
- ALWAYS attach each pan holder to the top of the cart warming base before turning on the heat and placing the pans in place.
- Each buffet server heating element is equipped with a variable thermostat knob, located behind left door of cart. Heat range is from 155″ to 200″ F, to keep foods at serving temperatures. For best results, use the maximum heat setting to quickly reach your desired temperature, then adjust to the desired temperature. Set heat level by turning the knob so that the white line on the knob mark lines up with the signal light line.
- The light will come on only during the heat cycle. Due to the low wattage necessary for warming surfaces, it can be 20-30 minutes before the light cycles off.
