1.DO NOT ADD WATER TO HOT WELL

Halo Heat® hot wells maintain a constant and gentle temperature. Adding water is not recommended since water will accelerate the deterioration of the product and may damage the unit voiding the warranty.

2.PLACE PAN DIVIDERS and EMPTY PANS IN THE wells

note: No matter what type of pan configuration chosen, pan separator bars or divider bars must be used to close all gaps between pans, and all gaps between the pans and the edges of the wells. If these gaps are not closed, heat will escape, heat distribution will be uneven, and uniform temperature will be difficult to maintain.

This is a VERY important requirement to follow whenever this appliance is in use.

3.Turn power switch “on”

Turn toggle switch to “ON” position. Lights will illuminate and hot well will begin to warm.

4.PREHEAT AT THE NUMBER “10” SETTING FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 MINUTES

An indicator light will illuminate when the thermostat(s) is (are) turned “ON.” The unit should be preheated at the 10 setting for a minimum of 30 minutes before loading the unit with hot food.

5. LOAD HOT FOODS INTO THE APPLIANCE

After preheating, place hot foods into the preheated pans located in the appliance or exchange the pans with pre-filled product pans. This appliance is designed for the purpose of hot food holding. Only hot foods should be placed into the unit. Potentially hazardous foods should be held in the unit at setting 10. If lower settings are used, ensure the food has maintained safe food temperatures. Lower settings should be tested by user to ensure food has maintained safe food temperatures between 140° and 160°F (60° and 71°C).

All pan divider bars required must be utilized at all times with the pan configuration chosen. Before loading food into the unit, use a pocket- type thermometer to make certain all products have reached an internal temperature of

140° to 180°F (60° to 82°C). If any food product is not at proper serving temperature, use a Halo Heat cooking and holding oven, set at 250° to 275°F (121° to 135°C), or a Combitherm oven to bring the

product within the correct temperature range.

6.RESET THERMOSTAT(S) AS NEEDED

After all products are loaded into the unit, it is necessary to reset the thermostat(s). Since proper temperature range depends on the type of products and the quantities being held,

it is necessary to periodically use a pocket thermometer to check each item to make certain the correct temperatures are being maintained. Proper temperature range is between a minimum of 140° and 180° F (60° and 82° C).

7.To maintain proper food temperature, overhead heating is required.

Keep hot foods looking fresh. Occasionally stir or rotate food as needed. Wipe spills immediately to ensure maximum eye appeal and to ease end of day cleanup.
