Overhead Heating System
Overhead heaters and Incandenscent lights are
located above each shelf to provide both top heat and
illumination.
To obtain the proper food temperatures, the shelf heater
and overhead heater must be adjusted. Maximum limits
should be avoided to prevent overcooking or drying out
of food.
Food temperatures can be accurately determined
only through the use of food thermometers!
