FUNCTION AND PURPOSE

The 1000W models are intended and designed to rethermalize containers of refrigerated, previously cooked food and hold containers of hot food at safe serving temperatures. All models are intended and designed to keep food product at proper serving temperatures. Food must be prepared and placed in all models at proper serving temperatures for hot food holding mode. These units are not designed to cook raw food.
This equipment is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use.

UNPACKING THE EQUIPMENT AND INITIAL SETUP
When no longer needed, dispose of all packaging and materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

1. Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic from the equipment.
2. Clean any glue residue left over from the plastic or tape.
3. Place the equipment in the desired location.
4. Plug the equipment into a properly grounded electrical supply matching the nameplate rating. Damage to the equipment can occur if incorrect power is supplied to equipment.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

A ON/OFF HEAT CONTROL SWITCH. Switches the equipment power ON or OFF and is 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. Rotating the control switch all the way in the counterclockwise direction switches the unit OFF.

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. Unplug 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.

WARNING 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. Fill the well to the correct level marks with clean fresh water. Correct level is about 1-1/2” (2.8 CM) or approximately 4 cups (1 Lt.) of water. Do not over fill. See Figure 1.
2. Plug electrical power cord into a grounded outlet matching the nameplate rated voltage.

NOTE:
If using fractional size pans, adapter bars must be used to keep steam from escaping from between pans.
Rethermalizing refrigerated food that has been previously cooked:

1. Preheat the water in the well by covering well with empty food containers or covers, and then turning the unit ON and set the on/off heat control switch (A) to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 15 minutes.

2. Place covered container of chilled food product to be rethermalized into equipment. See food safety precautionary note.

3. During the rethermalization process, monitor food temperatures closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that the entire food product reaches and maintains a minimum of 165°F (74°C) for at least 15 seconds to be properly rethermalized. In addition, rethermalized food must pass through the danger zone of 40°F (4° C) to 165°F (74°C) in less than 2 hours to prevent growth of organisms of public health concern. Do not add cold food for rethermalizing while holding hot food.
   NOTE: To reach the required safe food temperature as quickly as possible, do not add water or remove food pan during the rethermalization process.

4. Reduce heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding temperature and maintain food quality. See food safety precautionary note.

Hot Food Holding

1. Preheat the water in the well by covering well with empty food containers or covers, and then turning the unit ON and setting the on/off heat control switch (A) to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 15 minutes.
2. Place container of hot food product, above 140 °F (60 °C), into preheated equipment.
3. 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 140 ºF (60 ºC) 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
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. Some models are equipped with a low water indicator light (D) that illuminates when the water level is low.

When finished using the equipment
Turn the on/off heat control switch (A) to the OFF position and unplug unit. When removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot holders to protect hands.
