Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your PYY French Fry Warmer:

1. Pre-heating: After assembly and plugging in, turn the control switch to the "ON" position. The heating lamp will illuminate, and the unit will begin to warm up. Allow approximately 5-10 minutes for the unit to reach its optimal operating temperature of 122°F (50°C).
2. Loading Food: Once pre-heated, place your freshly fried foods (e.g., french fries, onion rings, chicken tenders) onto the oil filter plate within the food pan. Distribute the food evenly to ensure consistent warming.
3. Maintaining Warmth: The light source heating technology and U-shaped heat circulation will maintain the food's temperature and crispness. The integrated heat dissipation holes prevent overheating.
4. Serving: Use the provided fry scoop to serve food from the pan. The protective edges on the food tray help prevent spills during serving.
5. Continuous Operation: The unit is designed for continuous commercial use. Monitor food levels and replenish as needed.
