Operation

|     WARNING
---|---
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock. Do not damaged power cord.
Do not over fill wells, pans or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock.

---|---
Burn Hazard.
Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces while equipment is heating or operating.
Hot surfaces, steam and food can burn skin. Allow the hot surfaces to cool before handling. Do not drop or spill water onto the cooking surface as it can spray or splatter.

1. Check the drain valve (A) to verify it is in the CLOSED position to prevent water from draining out. The valve is in the CLOSED position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.

2. Fill the well to the correct level with clean fresh water. The correct level is about 1” (2.5 cm) from the bottom. Always maintain water in the well. Do not over fill. Allowing the well to run dry during operation may reduce the service life of the equipment.

3. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food containers or covers. Turn the unit on by setting the heat control (B) to the maximum heat setting or, turn the on/off switch (D) to the “ON” position and turning the temperature control (B) to the maximum setting.
   Preheat for 45 minutes.

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 140ºF (60ºC) 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.
   During operation:

6. Maintain water level at or near water level mark. Periodically (approximately 2 hours) remove container of food and check the water level. Add hot water if needed.
   When finished using the equipment:

7. Turn the heat control (A) to the “0” setting, turn the power switch (C, some models) to the “OFF” position and unplug unit. When removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot holders to protect hands.
