Operation

Initial Start-up & Operation

IMPORTANT
Water with a low chloride level must be used!
Water with high chloride levels will cause corrosion to the unit.
For areas with a high chloride content (ie. SA, WA, or country areas) demineralized water should be used in all cases.

WARNING
The water in the unit and the surfaces of this unit are HOT when operating. Take caution and do NOT place any part of the body in the water.

Bain Marie – Initial Start-up

• Before switching ON the unit – The element covers, dividers and shelves need to be placed in the unit
• Fill unit with water. Ensure the elements are submerged in water (minimum of 10mm)
• Turn the thermostat Dial to the required setting. Ensure the unit is heating to operating temperature
• Leave the Bain Marie to operate with water in the unit for 3 – 4 hours, checking water levels hourly
• Allow the unit to cool, drain the unit using the valve. Once this is complete, clean the whole unit, including the Gastronorm pans

Bain Marie – Operation (Wet Unit Only)
Do not use Grids/Racks in the bottom of pans as this causes a loss of heat transfer between the bottom of the pan (heat source) and the product in the pan. Poor performance will occur with the use of Grids/Racks and the manufacturer will not cover warranty costs if this is found to be the source of heating problems with the units.

• Fill the unit with water. Ensure the elements are submerged in water (minimum of 10mm). Hot or cold water can be used. Hot water will save on heating time and power consumption. The unit can be filled with a bucket
• Do NOT switch ON the unit until after the unit has been filled with water to the required level
• A lemon slice or a few drops of lemon juice should be added to the water daily to reduce the build-up of scale in the unit
• Adjust the thermostat dial to the desired operating temperature (temperature range is 30°C -120°C) allow approximately 10-15 minutes to heat up
• Check water levels while the unit is in use, top up the water level as required ensuring elements remain submerged
• This unit MUST be completely emptied/drained and re-filled with fresh water daily
• Water MUST not be recycled. After being in the unit, all water MUST be treated as wastewater. Do NOT drink and/or services to persons
• Mobile units: Let the water cool then drain into a suitable container
• Do not use the top of the unit as a serving area

Note: The thermometer is meant as guide only. It indicates the temperature of the water (when used as a wet unit) or the temperature under the food pans (when used as a dry unit). It does not indicate the temperature of the food. Use a temperature probe on the food items to ensure the well is maintaining the food temperature above 65°C.

GN Pans, Loading Bain Marie
Gastronorm Pans

• All Gastronorm pans and extra dividers are sold separately
• Each module can hold one 1/1 pan, two 1/2 pans, three 1/3 pans, four 1/4 pans, six 1/6 pans and nine 1/9 pans. Pan depths are 25mm, 65mm, 100mm and 150mm. Contact your distributor about the best possible depth for the product you intend to display
• For 1/6 and 1/9 Gastronorm pans, extra dividers are required

Loading Bain Marie

• Ensure that the Bain Marie is switched ON and has reached operating temperature before placing any food in the unit
• All food placed in the unit MUST be pre-heated/cooked
• Only Gastronorm pans are to be placed in the unit
• All food products must sit below top edge of the GN pan in order for the food to stay hot

Food Safety
Food Temperature

• All food MUST be pre-heated/cooked before placing in the unit. Attempting to cook food with this unit can lead to food poisoning
• Ensure the unit is maintaining the food temperature over 65°C
• The temperature reached on the temperature gauge is the water/air temperature, NOT the food temperature
• It is important to regularly monitor the food temperature in the Bain Marie

IMPORTANT

This unit is not designed to cook products, it only maintains them above the regulated 65°C serving temperature.

Food Storage

• All storage of food should comply with local health standards and regulations
•  All pans should be cleaned and placed in night storage. No pans should be left in the unit

• When operating, the surfaces may be hot
• Signage should be displayed for personnel and customers to ensure no one will burn themselves

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning
General Information

• Cleaning is recommended for health and safety purposes and to prolong the life of the unit
• DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaners on the stainless steel or any other metal parts of the unit
• DO NOT use industrial chemical cleaners, flammable cleaners, caustic based cleaners or bleaches, and bleaching agents, as many will damage the metals and plastics used on this unit
• DO NOT remove any screws and/or panels for cleaning (unless directed)
• This unit is NOT waterproof, DO NOT hose, DO NOT pour water directly onto the unit, DO NOT immerse in water

Corrosion Protection

• Stainless steel exhibits good resistance to corrosion however, if not properly maintained stainless steel can rust and/or corrode
• Any sign of mild rust and/or corrosion should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water and dried as soon as possible
• NEVER use abrasive pads or cleaners for cleaning
• All metal surfaces should be checked while cleaning for damage, scuffs or scrapes as these can lead to rust and further damage to the product
• Mild rust and/or corrosion can be treated with a commercial cleaning agent that contains citric/oxalic/nitric/phosphoric acid.
• DO NOT use cleaning agents with chlorides or other harsh chemicals as this can cause corrosion.
• After treatment, wash with warm (not hot) soapy water and dry thoroughly
• Thoroughly wipe the surfaces dry after cleaning. DO NOT let water pool on the unit. Check crevices and folds for pooling
• When using, ensure all liquids and moisture is cleaned up straight away.
• Food liquids such as juices from vegetables and fruits should not be left on preparation surfaces
•  DO NOT leave items on the stainless steel such as cutting boards, rubber mats, and bottles

Surface Finish

• To protect the polished surface of the stainless steel, it should be dried using a clean dry soft cloth. Light oil can be applied to enhance the stainless steel surface, using a clean cloth apply the oil in the same direction as grained polished finish
• Some commercial stainless steel cleaners can leave residue or film on the metal; this may trap fine particles of food on the surface, thus deeming the surfaces not food safe

IMPORTANT

• Threaded fasteners can loosen in service. Regular inspection and adjustment should be carried out as required
• Some commercial stainless steel cleaners leave residue or film on the metal that may entrap fine particles of food, deeming the surface not FOOD SAFE

WARNING

• This unit is NOT waterproof, do NOT hose. DO NOT pour water directly onto the unit. DO NOT immerse in water
• Wait until the unit has cooled to a safe temperature before undertaking any cleaning or maintenance. Contact with hot surfaces can cause burns and serious injury

IMPORTANT

Corrosion Prevention:
This unit MUST be completely drained, cleaned, and emptied DAILY.
Leaving water in the unit for an extended period while continually topping up with water, will cause the chloride levels to increase. As the water evaporates the chlorides and other impurities are left behind becoming concentrated.
Without daily cleaning, the concentrated build-up of chlorides and impurities in the water will corrode the stainless steel of the unit.
Failure to completely drain, clean, and empty the unit daily will void the warranty!
