Operating Instructions

4. Place Food Pans: Insert the food pans containing your prepared food into the wells.
5. Set Temperature: Use the thermostat control dial on the front panel to set the desired water temperature. The water temperature range is 0℃-95℃ (0℉-203℉). The unit features sensitive temperature control, automatically stopping heating when the set temperature is reached and resuming when the temperature drops.
6. Monitor Food: Regularly check the temperature of the food to ensure it remains at safe serving temperatures.
7. Drain Water: After use, allow the unit to cool. Use the integrated faucet to easily drain water from the water pan.
