OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance.
Remove gastronorm dishes and fill water tank with water up to the level indicated
by the mark in the rear of the tank. Replace gastronorms.
Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch –the green neon illuminates
indicating power to the appliance.
Turn the control knob to the required setting –the amber neon illuminates indicating
that the element is energised.
When the set temperature is reached, the amber neon will extinguish and then
cycle with the operation of the element as it maintains temperature.
Check and maintain the water level in the tank –do not allow appliance to boil dry.
Shutdown
To shutdown, rotate the control knob to the ‘Off’ position and switch off at the
isolating switch.
Resetting the safety thermostat
In the event of the appliance boiling dry, the safety thermostat protecting the
element will operate, shutting down the appliance. Observe the following to reset:
Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply.
Leave to cool for at least 20 minutes before refilling the water tank to the correct
level.
Reset the safety thermostat by pressing the red button (accessed through a hole in
the RH side of the base, near the front of the appliance).
Reconnect to the electricity supply and operate as normal.

CLEANING
Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner, and do not immerse this appliance.
Clean all panels with warm water and mild detergent, do not use abrasive materials
or cleaners containing chlorine. Dry with a soft cloth.
Scale
The formation of scale within a hot water system is common, and if left unchecked it
may cause problems to the functioning of the appliance. Check for scale build-up
frequently and de-scale as necessary.
De-scaling
Excessive scale may be difficult to remove –we recommend using approved
de-scaler MS19, available from Lincat.
To de-scale the appliance, first disconnect from the electricity supply.
Remove all gastronorm pots from the tank and fill the tank with water to the
indicated level.
Heat the water to boiling and then turn the thermostat off.
Add the de-scaling agent a little at a time, allowing the froth to subside. Some de-
scaling compounds may cause hot water to erupt –follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Heat the appliance again for 30 minutes before allowing it to cool.
Repeat the process if necessary.
On completion of successful de-scaling, isolate the appliance from the supply, drain
the tank via the drain tap and rinse with clean water.
