    gap around the perimeter of this unit.
  4. Proper connections and power supply are essential for efficient performance. Supply the appropriate power and connect to the source; your equipment is now ready to turn on and operate. (For power supply, please see the technical specification on page 1).
  5. Units are wired to be used with a standard AC receptacle that correlates to the unit’s operating voltage (see technical specification on page 1).
  6. The installation of the unit must conform to the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ALL LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND ORDINANCES, AND ALL THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL COMPANY RULES AND REGULATIONS. Additionally, we recommend a 4″ spacing surrounding the unit to provide adequate ventilation.

Operation

  2. Add 20 oz. (0.6 liters) of water to the kettle before placing the bain marie insert into the warmer.
  3. Never overfill with water. Use the waterline marks at the base of the kettle. Under no circumstances should the bain marie insert float, even when empty. DO NOT EXCEED MAX LEVEL. Remove any excess water immediately.
  4. Turn the warmer on. The indicator light will glow, showing that the unit is on.
  5. Adjust the temperature control dial to the correct setting:
    • Settings 8-12 are designed for initial warm-up
