F14 AND 48000 Series Service and Installation Manual

OPERATION: F14EI & 48300 SERIES (ELECTRIC)

Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the temperature knob to “10” and heat the well for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not be alarmed if smoke appears; this preheat should burn off any residue or dust on the heating element.

When using thick sauces always operate the hot food well filled with water. This will provide a more uniform temperature for the sauce.

Wet operation

1)Fill food well with two inches of water. For quicker pre-heating, use hot water to fill the well.

2)Turn the control to “HIGH” and pre-heat the warmer

for 30 minutes.

3)After pre-heating, set the control to your desired serving temperature.

Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some type of protective covering on your hands and arms when removing lids or pans from the unit. Lift the lid or pan in a way that will direct escaping steam away from your face and body.

Never place food directly into the well. Always use pans.

Dry operation

1)Pre-heat the well on “HIGH” for approximately 15 minutes.

2)After pre-heating, set the control to your desired

serving temperature.

Only 6” (15.2cm) deep insets should be used with a dry food well. When operated dry, the bottom of the food well will discolor. A mild abrasive cleaner is recommended to clean this discoloration.

Although these models may be operated either with or without water in the wells, wet operation is recommended.

Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.

For most efficient operation when empty, keep covered insets in each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.

Do not put food down drain.

These units must be operated with water in the well. If operated dry, a low water safety switch will interrupt the electric supply to the heater to prevent heater failure. If the low water safety switch shuts off power, turn the control to the OFF position. If the water level is below the heating element, allow the well to cool completely, then refill with water. Reactivate the well by turning the control ON and resetting to the previous temperature.

Continuous interruption of power due to a low water level may disable the heater permanently. Pouring water on a hot heating element will damage it.

For most efficient operation, when empty, keep covered insets in each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.

Wet operation

1)Fill food well with four inches of water (heater must be covered by water). For quicker pre-heating, use

hot water to fill the well.

2) Set the control to your desired serving temperature.
