3.	To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse tray base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
4.	Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5.	Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before
	putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: A 72”(6’) power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

The high-tech warming surface will remain unblemished for a long time with appropriate care. The warming surface and high-grade, long-life stainless chafing pans allow for an attractive alternative for keeping appetizers and other foods warm. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Metal utensils may be used with care but should not be used to cut food on

the cooking surfaces.HOW TO USE

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Buffet Cart features, Figure A. Wash removable parts in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Clean the warming tray base with a mild detergent and a soft moist cloth. Do not use any scouring agents! DO NOT SUBMERGE THE WARMING BASE OR LET THE PLUG COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER. Rinse and wipe dry. Do not allow water to spill or seep into the frame.

Assemble Cart

1.Attach the casters to the bottom of the cart legs. (Casters just pop into the bottom of the legs.) Put the 2 casters with brakes on front legs for best stability.

2.Place pan holder(s) on the top warming surface, with the notched edge(s) positioned over the positioning/stabilizing knobs.

3.Attach skirt to cart (on sides & front) with Velcro strips provided.

4.(When actually using cart to keep foods warm) place steam pans with hot food into the pan holders, and put the lid(s) in place.

Initial Use:

Turn unit on by pressing the rocker switch(es) behind the cart handle(s) to the ON position. Turn the variable thermostat knob(s) counterclockwise to maximum setting. Heat the warming base without foods on it for approximately 10 minutes in order to seal the special coating. (Only the top level of the cart heats up.) Temporary smoking is normal during initial use.

Subsequent Use:

1.The heating element is equipped with a variable thermostat knob, located behind the cart handle. (Largest models have 2 knobs, one at either end of the cart. Each knob on the large models controls half of the total heating surface.) Heat range is from 1550 to 2000 F, to keep foods at serving temperatures. For best results, use maximum heat setting to quickly reach your desired temperature, then adjust to desired temperature. Set heat level by turning the knob so that the white line on the knob mark lines up with the signa (Low = 1550)l light line.

2.The light will come on only during heat cycle. Due to the low wattage necessary for warming trays, it can be 20-30 minutes before the light cycles off.

3.You may use the unit either fully assembled with steam pans, or use the warming surface alone
