Hot Food Server Operator Manual 

OPERATION 

 

ALL MODELS 
 
1.  Turn thermostat knob to desired setting and allow to heat for about thirty (30) minutes.  The pilot light will cycle 

on and off as it heats.  

Note: The higher the set temperature, the longer the unit will take to reach the desired 

temperature.  In some cases it may take more than thirty (30) minutes to reach desired temperature.

 

2.  Place hot cooked food into the Hot Food Server drawer(s). 
 
Important:  Do not allow food to cool before placing in drawer. 
 
3.  Close drawer and set the moisture control knob to the position appropriate for the food being held. 
4.  Open drawer(s) as required to remove or replenish food. 
 
NOTE:  Rolls that have been heated once and then cooled have lost most of their moisture while setting in the open 
air.  They cannot be reheated with satisfactory results.
