NOTE
All cutout openings must be within 1/8” of listed opening sizes and have a corner radius of 7/8”. Hold the unit in place and drill holes through the holes in the well through the mounting surface. Place the bead of silicone sealer rated at a minimum of 450 °F (232 °C) between the countertop and the inside of the well to prevent water from leaking into control areas. Place the bead of silicone sealer rated at a minimum of 450 °F (232 °C) in mounting holes when using rivets or other fasteners.

Features and Controls

• TEMPERATURE CONTROL dial. Used to set or adjust the temperature of the well. The higher the number the higher the temperature, the lower the number the lower the temperature. On models with no On/Off switch, the “0” position is off.
• PIL OT light. Illuminates when the well is in heating mode.
• ON/OFF SWITCH (some models). Switches the equipment power ON or OFF.
• DRAIN VALVE (not shown). Used to empty water from the well.

Operation

WARN ING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. The liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock. Do not damage the power cord. Do not overfill wells, pans, or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Unplug the unit before performing service, draining or removing spillage pans and trays. Do not spray water or cleaning products. Do not use a power cord that has been modified or damaged.

WARN ING
Burn Hazard. Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces while the 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 overfill. 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 turn the temperature control (B) to the maximum setting. Preheat for 45 minutes.

4. Place a container of hot food products, above 140°F (60°C), into preheated equipment.

5. Reduce the 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 the food container and check the water level. Add water if needed.

During operation
Maintain the water level at or near the water level mark. Periodically (approximately 2 hours) remove the container of food and check the water level. Add hot water if needed. When finished using the equipment: Turn the heat control (A) to the “0” setting, turn the power switch (C, some models) to the “OFF” position, and unplug the unit. When removing hot food containers from the unit use gloves, mitts, or pot holders to protect hands. Allow the unit and water to cool completely before cleaning.

Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your equipment daily.
