OPERATIONS MANUAL & INSTRUCTIONS
The Hot Food Table will work most efficiently when used with hot water in the pan liner. The hot water will give a better
distribution of heat and help keep food from drying out. It is not designed for cooking foods but merely to keep cooked foods
at desired temperatures for serving.
During initial operation, a little smoke or odor may be detected. This will occur when the coating on the heating element burns
off. This should stop after a half hour of operation.
This unit is equipped with a variable control for different heat selections.
WET OPERATION WITH COVER
(IF USING AUTOFILL®, PLEASE SEE BACK PAGE)
1. Ensure unit is level in both directions, adjust feet in or out as necessary.
2. Ensure drain valve is in the closed position.
3. Pour hot water (minimum of 185°F [85°C]) into first well. Water will flow through manifold and fill all the wells, stop when a
depth of about 1" has filled all the wells. This may take a few minutes to level out between all wells.
4. Set dial to highest position for 45 minutes with well covered to preheat unit, place food pan with precooked food (minimum
150˚) into well and cover food pans with lids. (Note: Indicator light is the set point for the control knob.)
5. Adjust to desired setting for proper food temperature. This will vary with the type of food, type of pans and individual
serving temperature. NSF requires a minimum temperature of 150˚F in food product.
6. To increase temperature turn knob toward highest setting, to decrease turn knob toward lowest setting.
7. Change water, clean well and wipe dry after every 24 hours of operation. Water may have to be added to pan during
operation depending on operating time and temperature setting.
8. Food pans must be covered to maintain temperature when food is not being served and to prevent food from drying out.
The above instructions are starting suggestions only and may be changed to suit your individual needs. With so many
different applications for this item it is impossible to have standard settings to suit all situations.
NOTE: If unit is used dry, the bottom of the well will take on a brown colored appearance where the heater is located.
The discoloration will not come off with normal cleaning procedures, but in no way will it affect the operation of the unit.
CAUTION:
1. This equipment is designed and sold for commercial use only by personnel trained and experienced in its operation, and
is not sold for consumer use in and around the home, nor for use directly by the general public in food service locations.
2. Do not immerse unit in water.
3. All repairs should be performed by an authorized service center.
4. Unit should be turned off when not in use. It is recommended that unit be disconnected from power supply by removing
plug from receptacle or shutting off power disconnect supply to the unit.
5. Unit must be operated with legs provided to prevent overheating and damage to surface below or cord.

AutoFill®
Water System
1. Attach a continuous flowing hot water source to the 3⁄8˝ compression water connection inlet.
2. Screw the barbed fitting into the drain line and connect a 1⁄2˝ tube for the overflow drain. run to an appropriate floor sink.
3. Plug unit into proper power source stated on model/serial plate. Turn water source on and the AutoFill®ON/OFF switch to “ON”.
(Remember that the solenoid will make a “pop” sound the first time this is turned on.) The AutoFill®system will fill and maintain the
proper water level in all wells. If there is a desire to run the unit without automatically filling the wells with water, simply turn the
ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position. The AutoFill®system runs independently of the hot wells, so the wells are still operational.
For further details about the AutoFill®Water System, call the factory at 1-800-441-8440.
