West Bend L5745A instruction manual Using As A Buffet Server

5.Nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber cooking tools are recommended for use on the non-stick surface. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with care. Do not use sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks, knives or food choppers as scratching may occur. Minor scratching will affect only the appearance of the finish; it will not harm its non-stick property.

6.When the cooking period is completed, set the temperature control dial to “WARM” for later serving, or set the dial to “OFF” if food will be removed immediately from the griddle. After the dial is set to “OFF,” disconnect the cord from the wall outlet. Let the griddle cool before removing the temperature control and grease cup.

USING AS A BUFFET SERVER

1.Wash griddle, grease cup, food pans and food pan covers in warm, soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge to remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Be sure the temperature control is removed and the socket is completely dried. Slide the grease cup securely in place below the drain hole on the griddle surface. It is recommended that the grease cup be used with any cooking application to help contain possible overflows or spills.

2.Condition the non-stick finish by lightly wiping two teaspoons of cooking oil with paper towel or a soft cloth over the entire cool surface. Let the cooking oil remain on the finish. Do not use butter or shortening to condition the non-stick surface.

3.This Buffet Server is equipped with two heat settings. Setting 1, “WARM,” is a minimum hold temperature of 140°F (60°C) and setting 2, “SIMMER,” is from 180°F to 200°F (82°C - 95°C). For best results, use setting 2 to quickly reach serving temperature, then adjust to setting 1 to “KEEP WARM.” Do not use temperature settings above 200°F (95°C) for buffet server or warming applications.

Note: You may use this unit either fully assembled with food pans or use the griddle base alone as a warming tray. Food placed on the warming base or in the food pans should be fully cooked and already hot as the Buffet Server is designed for keep- warm function only. To retain heat and moisture in foods, keep the food pan covers on the food pans when not serving.
