1.Power On/Off (I/O) Switch
Switches the heating element ON (“I”) and OFF (“O”).
2.Temperature adjustment knob
Adjusts the temperature setting of the heating element. This controls the temperature of the cabinet and pan.
•“1” is the minimum setting (100°F/38°C after preheating).
•“9” is the maximum setting (200°F/93°C after preheating).
3.Thermometer
Displays the temperature of the cabinet and pan. A “green zone” of
4.Moisture control slider
Opens and closes the moisture vents in the front panel of the drawer.
•Moving the slider to the “CRISP” (left) position opens the vents, allowing moisture to escape and causing a crisper food product.
•Moving the slider to the “MOIST” (right) position closes the vents, trapping moisture inside the cabinet and food product.
B.Operation Procedure
1.Restore electrical power to the hot food server at the circuit breaker/fused disconnect. Switch the Power On/Off (I/O) switch to the ON (“I”) position.
2.Turn the temperature adjustment knob (if necessary) to the desired setting for the food product.
3.Allow the hot food server to preheat for 20 minutes.
CAUTION - HOT SURFACE
USE CAUTION WHEN LOADING FOOD INTO, AND REMOVING FOOD FROM, THE PAN. THE SURFACES OF THE PAN ARE HOT.
4.Open the drawer. Load the food product into the pan, and close the drawer. Check that the drawer is fully closed to prevent heat loss into the environment.
5.Move the moisture control slider (if necessary) to open or close the moisture vents, as required by the food product.
6.The food product will be kept at the temperature shown on the thermometer. When unloading the product, use caution to avoid touching the hot surfaces of the pan.
IMPORTANT
It may be necessary to clean the pan after removing some food products. Refer to Section IV, Daily Cleaning, in this Manual.
C.Shutdown Procedure
