USING YOUR BUFFET SERVER

Before First Use

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash the lids, trays and serving tray support with warm, soapy water using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Wipe the warming base with a clean damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Do not immerse the base in water.
6. Heat the warming base without food for about 10 minutes. This will seal the coating on the warming tray.

NOTE:
The appliance itself may give off smoke or odors when heating for the first time. This is normal and should dissipate shortly.

USING THE BUFFET SERVER

1. Place warming tray/base on a sturdy, level and heat-resistant surface.
2. To Operate as Warming Tray: Do not add serving tray support or serving trays.
   To Operate with Serving Trays: Place the serving tray support and the serving trays on to the base.
3. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
4. Place food in the trays and turn the temperature dial to "Low." The indicator light will illuminate once the appliance is on.
5. If using the warming tray, do not turn the temperature above "Low".
6. If using the buffet server, turn the temperature dial to "Low," "Med" or "High" to adjust the temperature to the needed setting.

NOTE:
For best results turn the knob to the "High" setting to quickly reach your temperature and then turn it down to the desired temperature.

7. Place lids over food as needed.
8. When finished using, turn the temperature knob to "Off" and unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
9. Food will be kept warm for a period of time after the appliance has been turned off. Do not touch, disassemble or clean the appliance until it has cooled completely.

TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED

• Do not fill serving trays more than 2/3 full.
• Food should be fully cooked and hot when put in the buffet server or on the warming base.
• Use the buffet server to keep food warm while preparing other foods.
• Foods containing little or no liquid should be kept on the "Low" setting and stirred occasionally.
• When using the appliance as a warming tray, do not turn the temperature above the "Low" setting.

NOTE:
The warming tray is not designed to keep large, deep pots of food or liquid warm.

• The warming tray is ideal for keeping shallow pans warm right from the oven.
• After a period of use, the warming tray may develop some discoloration around the heating element. This is normal and does not pose a health risk.
