SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or unit
body in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact
Chefman Customer Support for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman may
cause injuries.
8. Do NOT use outdoors.
9. Do NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do NOT use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Do NOT cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock.
15. Clean surface with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
16. Always place the warming tray on a flat, steady surface. Keep at least
8 inches of space between the warming tray and other objects to avoid
interruption of airflow around the unit.
17. Only place the unit on heat-resistant surfaces.
18. Do NOT place non-heat-resistant objects or containers on the warming
tray. This includes plastic containers.
19. This warming tray can be kept on for up to 72 hours. Do not use for
prolonged periods of time.
20. Do NOT leave the warming tray unattended while in use.
21. Do NOT place the warming tray in a dishwasher.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it
into the outlet. This could result in injury or electrical shock.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

California Proposition 65:
(Applicable for California Residents only)
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Do not place the appliance on
a stovetop or any other heatable
surface, even if stovetop is not on.
Doing so is a fire hazard.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Power Cord Safety Tips
1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of excessive wear.
Contact Chefman Customer Support for additional guidance
and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place
undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to
fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE
OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
9
Before First Use
1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts.
2. Read and remove all stickers on the unit except for the rating label.
3. Wipe the surface with a damp towel to remove any packaging dust.
(Never immerse the warming tray, its cord, or plug in water or any
other liquid.)
10
How to Use the Warming Tray
1. Place the primary tray on a hard, flat, heat-resistant surface near an outlet.
Ensure it is at least 8 inches away from all objects and sources of liquid.
WARNING: Do not place the warming tray on butcher block, wood, recycled
material, bamboo, or plastic, as they are not heat resistant. Heat-resistant
surfaces include granite, stainless steel, quartz, marble, glass, soapstone,
travertine, and limestone.
2. If desired, connect the expansion tray: slide the connector plug on
the expansion tray into the connector port on the primary tray. NOTE: The
expansion tray can be plugged into either side of the primary tray. The
primary tray can also be used on its own, but the expansion tray cannot.
3. Plug in the tray. The round Power light will illuminate, as well as the expansion
tray’s Power light, if using.
4. Use the temperature control lever to select a heat level: Low, Medium, or
High (see chart below). Once a temperature is selected, the heat indicator
light will illuminate. NOTE: The light does not indicate that the surface has
fully come to temperature, only that the unit is heating.
WARNING: Never cover or wrap the tray in foil, plastic, cloth, or any other
material. Doing so blocks airflow, which can cause a fire and cause the
glass top to shatter.
5. Once the tray is warm, place hot or warm food in heat-resistant containers
(such as a pot, pan, or tempered glass dish) on the top. Do not place plastic
containers on the surface. CAUTION: The surface of the tray is HOT. Do not
touch the surface with bare hands. Use potholders to handle hot dishes and
pans. Never move the tray when it is in use or items are on top of it.
6. When you have finished using the tray, turn the temperature control lever
to OFF, then unplug the tray from the power outlet. Let it cool completely
before cleaning.
Temperature Settings Guide
Setting Best for...
Low Holding and warming delicate foods—such as baked goods, eggs,
thick or creamy soups, and stews—without overcooking or burning.
Medium Keeping most foods warm and ready to serve, such as roasts, chicken,
casseroles, pasta dishes, delicate vegetables, and mashed potatoes.
High Keeping thin soups and hearty vegetables (e.g., brussels sprouts) and
proteins (e.g., bacon) hot at a ready-to-serve temperature.

Tips for Success
• The warming tray is not a cooking appliance. It is designed to keep already-
cooked food warm. It is NOT designed to cook or defrost food.
• Do not put very cold items on the already-hot surface
• For best results, place dishes so they are centered on each individual
module, rather than spanning the two.
• Only use containers that are heat resistant on the warming tray. Plastic
containers or other materials that are not heat resistant may melt and
cause damage to the tray and run a risk of burning or fire.
• Never place any non-heat-resistant items, such as plastic utensils, on or
near the tray.
• To retain both heat and moisture, consider covering any foods kept on
the tray.
• Be sure to follow proper food-safety guidelines for keeping and serving
warm foods.
• Ceramic, stoneware, and cast-iron cookware may have unfinished, rough
bases that can scratch the surface. Avoid using these on the tray, or use
with care.
• Check that the bottoms of dishes and pans are clean before placing on the
tray; if dirty, they can leave marks on the glass.
1212
Keep It Clean
The glass surface of the warming tray is easy to keep clean.
1. Before cleaning, turn off the unit, unplug it from the power outlet, and let it
cool completely.
2. When it is completely cool, separate the two trays (if both were used).
3. Clean the warming tray with a mild detergent and a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, which can scratch.
4. Never immerse the tray, its cord, or its plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not allow water to spill or seep into the tray’s frame, or allow the
heating elements to come into contact with water.
5. Dry completely with a soft cloth. Store in a cool, dry place. The two trays
can be stacked for efficient storage.
13
Having Trouble?
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Unit doesn’t turn on. Plug is not completely
inserted in outlet.
Remove and re-insert plug into a
polarized outlet.
Unit turns on but produces
no heat.
1. Temperature control lever
is in off position.
2. Heating element failure.
1. Check lever and make sure it is
set to Low, Medium, or High heat.
2. Contact Customer Support.
Unit produces odor on first
use.
This is normal. Odor will dissipate quickly
with use.
Expansion tray does not
get hot.
If the expansion tray’s power
indicator light is not on,
the tray may not be fully
connected with primary tray.
Pull the two sections apart and
push the connector plug firmly
into the connector port. If the
expansion tray still doesn’t heat
up, contact Customer Support.
Dishes/foods are heating
unevenly.
Depending on the density of
the food, some parts may
heat before others.
Use a lower heat setting for a
longer period of time; stir foods
occasionally. Be sure dishes are
centered over the middle of the
heating module.
