OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3
Contact the factory, the factory representative or Eagle’s authorized service center in your area.
ELECTRIC
This drop-in food warmer is designed to be operated dry. If wet operation is required, spillage pan (#302027) must be used. The unit is for
holding hot food for short periods of time. When not serving, cover must be kept on food to maintain desired temperature.
During initial start up, a little smoke or odor may be detected. This will occur when the coating on the heating element burns off. This should
stop approximately a half hour after start up.
This warmer is equipped with a variable control for different selections.
DRY OPERATION WITH COVER
1. With openings covered, set dial on highest position for 45 minutes to preheat unit. Place precooked food (minimum 160˚F) in food pans,
place in openings, and cover food pans with lids. (Note: Indicator light is the set point for each control knob.)
2. Adjust to desired setting for proper food temperature. This will vary with the type of food, size of pans and individual serving temperatures.
NSF requires food to be a minimum of 150˚F.
3. To increase temperature turn knob toward highest setting, to decrease turn toward lowest setting.
4. Food pans should be covered to maintain temperature when food is not being served and to prevent food from drying out.
WET OPERATION WITH COVER (Spillage Pans Required)
CAUTION: DO NOT PUT WATER IN HEATING WELL OR ON ELEMENT.
1. With openings covered, set dial at highest setting for 45 minutes, install spillage pans and fill spillage pans to bottom of
food pans with (minimum 185˚F) hot water.
2. Put pre-cooked food (minimum 160˚F) in food pans, place in spillage pans and cover food pans with lids.
3. Adjust to desired setting for proper food temperature. NSF requires food to be a minimum of 150˚F.
The above instructions are starting suggestions only and may be changed to suit your individual needs. With so many different applications for
this item it is impossible to have standard settings to suit all.
CAUTION:
1. This equipment is designed and sold for commercial use only by personnel trained and experienced in its operation and is not
sold for consumer use in and around the home nor for use directly by the general public in food service locations.
2. All repairs should be done by an authorized service center.
3. Unit should be turned off when not in use. It is recommended that unit be disconnected from power supply by removing the plug
