surface as it can spray or splatter.
1. Check the drain valve (A) to verify it is in the CLOSED position to prevent
water from draining out. The valve is in the CLOSED position when the
handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.
2. Fill the well to the correct level with clean fresh water. The correct level is
about 1” (2.5 cm) from the bottom. Always maintain water in the well. Do
not over fill. Allowing the well to run dry during operation may reduce the
service life of the equipment.
3. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food
containers or covers. Turn the unit on by setting the heat control (B)
to the maximum heat setting or, turn the on/off switch (D) to the “ON”
position and turning the temperature control (B) to the maximum setting.
Preheat for 45 minutes.

temperature and maintain food quality. See food safety precautionary
note.
Food safety Precautionary note:
Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United states
Public health service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum
of 140ºF (60ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth. Maintain correct water
level and temperature setting. Periodically remove food container and
check the water level. Add water if needed.
During operation:
6. Maintain water level at or near water level mark. Periodically
(approximately 2 hours) remove container of food and check the water
level. Add hot water if needed.
When finished using the equipment:
7. Turn the heat control (A) to the “0” setting, turn the power switch
(C, some models) to the “OFF” position and unplug unit. When removing
hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot holders to protect
