SERVER FS-7 Soup Warmer Instruction Manual

SAFETY

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD OCCUR This unit must be earthed or grounded. This requires all three prongs (terminals) on cord plug to be plugged into power source.

According to food and safety regulations, most foods must be stored and/or served at certain temperatures or they could become hazardous. Check with local food and safety regulators for specific guidelines.

Be aware of the product you are serving and the temperature the product is required to maintain. Server Products, Inc. can not be responsible for the serving of potentially hazardous product.

PARTS

UNIT SET-UP

WASH ALL PARTS PROPERLY BEFORE EVERY USE. See page 6.

FILL WATER VESSEL BASIN

Fill water up to water level line inside basin.
Do not overfill.

TIP: Check water levels throughout the holding period to ensure even heating. Filtered water is recommended to deter corrosion.

FS-7 use 7 cups water (56 oz/1.6 liters)

FS-11 use 11 cups water (88 oz/2.6 liters)

PUT INSET INTO WATER VESSEL BASIN

Product being served must always be inside inset. Never place food directly into water vessel basin of unit.

TIP: Simplify change-outs with an additional inset and lid.
7 Qt- Order item #84040
11 Qt- Order item #84149

PLUG CORD into power source.

SET THERMOSTAT KNOB

to recommended serving temperature.

Dial indicator uses increments of 10ºF.
Thermostat maximum is 220ºF/104ºC.
To heat unit faster, thermostat may TEMPORARILY be rotated to maximum.

RETHERMALIZATION

Rethermalization of food products is achieved by this appliance when it elevates the food product temperature from a refrigerated 40°F (4°C) to a safe serving temperature of 165°F (74°C) within a period of 2 hours.

PRE-HEAT UNIT

for at least 5 minutes with:

Correct amount of water in basin.
Lid closed.
Thermostat knob set at maximum setting.

ADD FOOD PRODUCT

Put food into the inset.
Maximum capacity of food product
for FS-7: 5.5 quarts (22 cups)
for FS-11: 8 quarts (32 cups)
Do not overfill.

MAINTAIN SAFE

HOT FOOD HOLDING

After food reaches safe serving temperature of 165°F (74°C), maintain product temperature at or above 150°F (66°C).
Adjust controller if needed to avoid overheating food.

MONITOR FOOD CLOSELY FOR FOOD SAFETY.
The United States Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum of 140°F (60°C) to help prevent bacteria growth.

COLD FOOD IS NOT TO BE ADDED TO THE UNIT FOR RETHERMALIZATION WHILE HOT FOOD IS BEING HELD.

HOT FOOD HOLDING

Hot Food Holding is achieved with this appliance when it maintains a food product temperature at or above 150°F (66°C), in all locations throughout the product, for a minimum of 2 hours, even if any lid, cover, or pump is removed. The lid, cover, or pump is recommended to help maintain product temperature.

PRE-HEAT UNIT

for at least 5 minutes with:

Correct amount of water in basin.
Lid closed.
Thermostat knob set at maximum setting.

ADD FOOD PRODUCT

Put food which has already been preheated to 150°F (66°C) into the inset.
Maximum capacity of food product
for FS-7: 5.5 quarts (22 cups)
for FS-11: 8 quarts (32 cups)
Do not overfill.

NSF International and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) list this unit as a “Rethermalization and Hot Food Holding unit (Standard 4).”

UNIT TAKE-DOWN

TURN KNOB to the lowest setting
UNPLUG CORD
CAUTION- HOT
Allow unit to cool before continuing.
REMOVE INSET FROM WATER VESSEL BASIN
EMPTY WATER FROM WATER VESSEL BASIN after each use.

TIP: Remember to empty the water each day rather than add—
This will greatly extend the life of your warmer.

DRY thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Proper drying after each use helps maintain the stainless steel.

CLEANING

WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD OCCUR

Electrical components of unit could be damaged from water exposure or any liquid.
Never immerse unit into water or any liquid.
Never use any water jet or pressure sprayer on unit.
Ensure unit is “OFF” and unplugged.

CAUTION- HOT
Allow unit to cool before cleaning.

CLEAN VESSEL, INSET & LID
- Before first use and after use daily, disassemble and clean unit.
- Ensure unit is “OFF” and unplugged.
- Wash with dishwashing soap and hot water
RINSE fully with clear water
SANITIZE all parts according to local sanitization requirements. All parts in contact with food must be sanitized.
DRY all parts fully with a clean soft cloth.
CLEAN EXTERNAL SURFACES
- Wipe daily with a clean damp cloth.
- Dry with a clean soft cloth.
- Glass and surface cleaners approved for use in food contact areas may be used

CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL

This warmer, water vessel and food inset with lid are constructed of stainless steel— one of the best materials for food serving and storage.

If you notice corrosion beginning on any stainless steel surface, you may need to change the cleansing agent, sanitizing agent, or the cleaning procedures you are using.

A mildly abrasive nylon or brass brush may be used to remove any stubborn food or mineral deposits on interior surfaces of unit.
Fully rinsing and drying all parts can help prevent corrosion. Elements and minerals in tap water can accumulate on stainless steel parts and create corrosion.
Do not use abrasive, caustic or ammonia based cleansers.
Do not use products containing acids, alkalines, chlorine, or salt. These agents can corrode stainless steel.
Do not use metal scrapers or cleaning pads that could scratch surfaces.
