DROP-IN HOT WELLS  
Operation: HOT FOOD HOLDING  
1. Check drain valves. Make sure they are closed to prevent water from draining out. (See  
Drain Operation)  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Hot water and steam can burn skin.  
Make sure drains are closed during unit operation to prevent hot water from draining  
from the well.  
2. Fill each well with 3 quarts of water plus water to fill the drain tube (fill each well until water  
level is approx. 3/8”). Do not overfill wells. Always maintain water in well.  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Keep water level at approx. 3 quarts. If level is too high, water  
may overflow when the food container is inserted. The overflow could  
enter the electrical compartment and cause a short circuit or electric shock.  
3. Plug power cord into grounded electrical outlet with the nameplate rated voltage.  
4. Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food containers or covers, and  
then setting the heat control to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 45 minutes.  
5. Place containers (must be rated for hot use) of hot food into the preheatedfood warmer. To  
prevent spills, do not overfill the food containers.  
6. Set heat control to maintain proper hot holding temperature for food safety. SEE NOTE  
BELOW:  
FOOD SAFETY PRECAUTIONARY NOTE  
Monitor food temperatures closely for food safety. The United States Public Health  
Service recommends that food be held at a minimum of 140°F (60°C) to help prevent  
bacteria growth. Maintain water level at approximately ¼” from bottom of well.  
Periodically (approx. 2 hours) remove container of food and check the water level. Add  
hot water if needed.  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Hot water and steam in the well can burn skin.  
Use protective gloves, mitts or potholders when removing  
food containers or covers. Hot food can also cause burns. Handle hot food carefully.

DROP-IN HOT WELLS  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Top surface gets extremely hot and can burn skin or damage heat-sensitive items.  
Use caution when touching top surface and keep heat-sensitive items off of top surface.  
Drain Operation:  
Each well is equipped with its own drain shut off valve. As an option, some models may have a  
master drain valve that controls all wells in the unit. The master drain valve should be closed at  
all times the unit is operating.  
If the unit is equipped with a master drain valve, to operate the unit with the wells draining  
independently of each other, turn each valve located directly under each well to the “Off”  
position. The valve is in the off position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body  
of the valve. Open each valve separately to only drain the liquid from the well the valve is  
connected to. To operate with all of the wells draining together, open all individual well drains  
and use the master drain valve to drain all of the wells at the same time.  
If the unit does not have a master drain valve, to operate the unit be sure each valve is closed for  
operation. The valve is in the off position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the  
body of the valve. To drain the unit, open each valve draining only the liquid from the well the  
valve is attached to.  
Cleaning:  
To maintain appearance and increase the service life, the food warmer should be cleaned at least  
daily.  
1. Before cleaning be sure unit is turned off and that the liquid in the wells has cooled  
completely.  
2. Carefully open drain valves making sure to drain liquid into a container or floor drain.  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Hot water and hot parts can burn skin.  
Allow hot wells and water to cool before handling.  
3. Wipe the entire well interiors with a clean, damp cloth.  
4. To avoid damaging the finish, do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleaners or scouring  
pads to clean water deposits from the wells.  
5. If soap or chemical cleaners are used, be sure they are completely rinsed away with clear  
water, immediately after cleansing. Chemical residue could corrode surface of unit.
