Temperature settings
1. 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.
2. All warm or hot foods should be maintained at a
minimum of 60ºC to prevent the risk of food borne
illness.
3. Use a food thermometer to monitor the temperature of
the food and adjust the temperature control if needed
to maintain a minimum of 60°C.
4. It is recommended to periodically check the
temperature when serving over a long period of time.
5. Many factors can affect the temperature of food. This
unit is designed to reach a minimum temperature(see
below) for each setting.
Warming Tray: 65ºC
This setting is used when placing foods directly on the
warming tray only.NOTE: The Temperature ranges
below are measured with the large pan and / or
buffet trays on top of the warming tray.
• Low: 70ºC - This is the minimum setting when the
large pan is used on the warming tray
• Medium: 76ºC - This is the minimum setting when
the large pan and buffet trays are used on the
warming tray.
• High: 80ºC - This setting will be used to keep foods
at a higher temperature when using the large pan and
/ or buffet trays. NOTE: When placing food directly
on the warming tray only use the Warming Tray
Setting. NOTE: The Low-Medium-High settings are
for use with the large pan and/ or buffet trays. The
surface temperature of the warming tray will be
much hotter than the above temperature ranges in
order to transfer heat from the warming tray to the
large pan and / or buffet trays. NOTE: Extended
use over long periods of time at high temperatures
may cause discoloration of the buffet trays and
scorching may occur on the warming tray.
4. Helpful Tips
4.1. When serving warm or hot foods you can warm the
buffet trays in the oven prior to putting food inside
to help keep the temperatures higher during initial
serving.
4.2. You can also use water inside of the large pan when
using the buffet trays to distribute the heat more
evenly without creating hot spots in the buffet trays.
