OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not put water in the well. It is intended to run dry. Water in
the well will damage the equipment and void the warranty.
NOTICE: Do not operate if the well(s) are dirty. Verify the well(s) are
clean and do not contain food debris. See the Cleaning section in this manual
for instructions.
NOTICE: Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States
Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum of 140 ºF
(60 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth.
NOTICE: Do not add cold food to hot food.
NOTICE: Do not hang the induction capsules over the edge of the
countertop.
Adjust the Induction Capsules to Accommodate the Pan(s)
The wells accept 2¹/” and 4″ Vollrath induction-ready pan(s). Adjust the
risers under the induction capsules: 2¹/” deep pan – unfold the risers
Insert Pans of Prepared Hot Food
- Fill the Vollrath induction-ready pan with food pre-heated to above 155 ºF (68 ºC).
- Verify the well(s) are dry and clean. Do not operate this equipment if there is liquid or food debris in the well(s).
- Place the Vollrath induction-ready pan(s) in the well(s). The bottom of the pan(s) must be in contact with the sensor(s) and the top of the pan(s) flush with the top of the drop-in.
Plug in the Equipment
Plug the equipment into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the rating
on the name plate.
NOTICE: Using a voltage other than the nameplate rated voltage, or
modifying the power cord or electrical components, may damage equipment
and will void the warranty.
NOTICE: This equipment requires a dedicated electrical circuit.
Turn On Main Power
The Display Will Show
Turn On/Off Power to an Induction Capsule(s)
Set the Temperature or Power Level
Use the control panel to select settings for each induction capsule.
Press (Fnc) to switch between temperature and power level modes or change
the temperature control to ºF or ºC.
Note: This equipment monitors the temperature of the induction-ready pan
and automatically adjusts the output to maintain the user controlled set
point. Temperatures displayed may vary from actual food temperatures depending
on the type of food and stirring frequency. For best results adjust the
settings as needed to achieve the desired temperature of each menu item. Some
foods may require a higher setting to hold at the desired temperature.
Note: The efficient induction technology of this drop-in heats the bottom
of the pan. Heat will radiate up the pan to warm the sides, but they will not
be as hot as the bottom. This is normal operation.
One pan / same temperature or power level for both induction capsules
When using a single full-size pan, the sync function enables both induction
capsules to operate as one.
Two pans / different temperature or power level for each induction
capsule
Each induction capsule can be individually turned on and off, and have
different heat settings. The heat mode, temperature or power will be the same
for both induction capsules.
Lock and unlock a control panel (optional)
A control panel can be locked to prevent accidental changes.
Use the Master On/Off button to Set Defaults
Automatically set which wells and/or induction capsules turn on and the
setting for each when the drop-in is turned on.
To set or reset the defaults:
Note: Control panels that are locked when the drop-in is turned off by pressing the master power button, will remain locked the next time the drop in is turned on.
CLEANING
