WHAT IS THE "HOSTESS"?
The "Hostess" has been designed to keep a meal
appetizingly hot from the time it is cooked until it is
convenient to serve, which provides complete flexibility
when entertaining or when the meal is to be kept hot for
late-comers.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
(It is recommended that two people handle the trolley).
1. Remove the outer packaging.
2. Remove the pack of three glass dishes.
3. FITTING THE CASTORS (HL6200/HL6232)
Unpack the castors.
Carefully lay the trolley on its back.
Push the castors firmly into the castor inserts provided.
Carefully return the "Hostess" Trolley into an upright
position.
4. Fit the glass dishes into the trolley. (See section "Dish
Retainer - Removal and Refitting.)
PRE-HEATING
Plug in and pre-heat the "Hostess" whilst the food
is being cooked. (Allow 20 minutes).
To ensure that your "Hostess" operates efficiently and
also to avoid breakage due to 'thermal shock', it is
essential that dishes and plates are pre-warmed. You may
pre-warm empty plates or dishes inside the "Hostess"
while pre-heating the appliance.
USING THE "HOSTESS"
The "Hostess" Trolley will not operate until connected to
a mains supply. (The neon on the front of the trolley will
indicate that the power is on.)
To obtain the best results from the trolley, the food
should be placed in flat bottomed dishes with lids. Care
should be taken however, with dish bottoms having sharp
edges, as these could damage the trolley surfaces.
The three dishes under the sliding leaves should be used
for moist foods such as vegetables, etc. It is essential that
the sliding leaves are kept closed until the food is ready
to serve, and that the dishes are pre-heated before food is
placed in them.
