WARNING:
To protect against electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, do not immerse main cord, plug or unit
in water or any other liquid.
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) as a
safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
It is not recommended to use the plug with an extension cord. If an extension cord is required,
be sure the extension cord is of the proper power and voltage rating. Do not alter the plug of
the appliance or any extension cord used with this appliance. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

illuminate red and will turn OFF when the desired temperature is reached.

desired heat. The indicator light will cycle ON and OFF while maintaining the correct
temperature. It is not recommended to keep this appliance ON for more than 6-8
continuous hours.
3. After use, unplug from the outlet.
4. Allow to cool thoroughly.
CAUTION:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT FILL OVER 2/3 OF THE TRAY CAPACITY
How to use the buffet server without warming pans and frame:
1. Place the warming tray on a stable, heat resistant surface.
2. Plug the appliance into the mains power supply and switch On.
3. The indicator light will illuminate red and will switch Off when the desired temperature is
reached.
4. Pre-heat the appliance for 10 minutes.
5. The warming tray can reach a temperature of 175°F while connected; extreme caution must
be exercised.
6. Food warmed on the tray must be pre-cooked as this appliance is not designed for heating
cold or frozen food.
7. After using the appliance, unplug from the outlet and cool for approximately 90 minutes
before storing.
SHORT CORD PURPOSE
A) A short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from being entangled
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is
available and may be used with care.
B) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be reached by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type 3 wire
cord.
