TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

• The temperature control dial is used to select the temperature of the warming drawer. It is located on the right hand side of the control panel and has dial settings from 50°F-230°F.
• The warming drawer should only be opened when adding or removing food. Continuous opening of the drawer allows warm air to escape and make the food colder.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat Insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This may a ect the performance of the warming drawer, the Interior finish and possibly be a safety issue.

HEAT ON LIGHT
The heat-on light is located above the temperature control knob. The red light turns on when the control knob is set and cycles “on” and “o ” with the heating element as temperature is maintained.

  • Place the steam rack inside the steam pan. (Not Included)
  • Place the food directly on the rack or use a suitable container that will fit in the steam pans. Do not use plastic containers or utensils.
  • Slide the moisture vent control outward to close the vents and seal the moisture inside the drawer.
  • Set the temperature control dial. Heat-on light will appear until the desired temperature is reached.
  • Periodically, check the water level in the steam pans and add water when necessary.
