Clean and thoroughly dry all parts before using for the first time. (See “HOW TO CLEAN” section for instructions.)

NOTE: The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This is normal and harmless and comes from the burning of the protective substance applied to the heating elements during manufacturing. It will disappear with subsequent use of the product.

ASSEMBLY

ATTENTION

1. Please note, when removing your buffet server from its box, the warming plate is packaged upside down for compact packaging purposes.

2. Ensure that the warming plate, once removed from the packaging, is placed onto a flat, level, heat resistant surface. When placed correctly, the logo should be facing right side up. Please refer to the diagram above.

3. When the warming plate has been properly placed, the retaining shelf and buffet server trays can be placed onto the warming plate.

NOTE: Ensure that if you place the buffet server on a delicate surface, that basic precautions are used such as placing materials beneath it that are made of a heat resistant protective surface to prevent heat transfer or heat damage to your countertops and tables.

CAUTION: When assembling the Lids with the Knobs, make sure to not tighten the screw on your knobs too tight or it will cause the lid to crack

HOW TO USE YOUR BUFFET SERVER

NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE FOR COOKING OR DEFROSTING FOOD.

Assemble your buffet server.
Plug in the power cord into a standard 120V electrical outlet.
Place your pre-cooked food items into each buffet server tray.
NOTE: For best results, use Warming tray at maximum heat setting to quickly reach desired temperature, then adjust thermostat to a lower setting.
Turn appliance on to the desired heat setting: “LOW”, “MED” or “HIGH”. The indicator light will come on and it will shut off once the selected temperature has been reached. The indicator light will turn on and shut off while your buffet server is in operation as it maintains the temperature selected.

OFF: The Buffet server will be set to OFF.

LOW: The Buffet server will begin to heat up to and kept at 140°F.

MED: The Buffet server will begin to heat up to and kept at 158°F.

HIGH: The Buffet server will begin to heat up to and kept at 175°F.

6. It is not recommended to keep food in the buffet server for more than 4 hours or food will begin to dry out, discolor or taste may start to change.

7. Once you are done using the Buffet Server, turn the thermostat control to the “OFF” position.

8. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet.

USING THE WARMING TRAY FOR SERVING

CAUTION: Use caution when serving food on the warming tray as the surface will be very hot.

Remove the retaining shelf and three buffet serving trays and lids.
Ensure that the flat stainless steel surface of the warming tray is clean and thoroughly dry.
Plug the unit into a standard 120V outlet.
Set the thermostat control to your desired heat setting.
Place already-made pre-cooked food items onto the warming tray.
- NOTE: It is NOT recommended to use the clear lids directly on the hot surface.
When using the warming tray, food itemscan only be kept warm for a shorter amount of time because they are being left uncovered. Maximum time will be 2 hours or else food will begin to dry out, discolor or taste may start to change.
Once you are done using the Warming Plate, turn the thermostat control to the “OFF” position.
Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet.

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE SOAPS, DETERGENTS, OR CLEANING MATERIALS TO CLEAN THIS APPLIANCE.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE APPLIANCE IS OFF, UNPLUGGED FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET, AND COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
Wash the clear dome lids, retaining shelf, and buffet server trays with warm soapy water.
Clean the Warming Tray with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge.
DRY ALL PARTS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STORING OR OPERATING THE BUFFET SERVER.

HELPFUL TIPS

It is important to maintain all cooked foods at a minimum of 140º over an extended period of time to prevent any food borne illness.
Use a food thermometer to monitor the temperature of the food and adjust the temperature control if needed to maintain a minimum of 140ºF.
All foods have different consistencies so depending on what you are serving you may have to adjust the temperature lower or higher to maintain a minimum temperature of 140ºF.
Temperatures may fluctuate as the food is being served and the contents of the large pan and / or buffet trays are emptied.
You may adjust the temperature accordingly to avoid over or under heating the prepared food.
All foods have different consistencies and may require a lower or higher setting to keep the food warm. For example, a higher temperature setting will be required to keep mashed potatoes warm and a lower temperature to keep gravy warm.
Many factors can affect the temperature of food. This unit is designed to reach a minimum temperature for each setting.
THE LIDS ARE NOT OVEN SAFE.
