3. USE AND BEST PERFORMANCE
BAINS MARIE
The Bain Marie can be used wet or dry; this means the Bain
Marie well can hold water or be used dry. Power to the element
which heats the water or air is adjusted by a control knob,
located on the control panel, which may be varied to meet
individual requirements. To obtain the best performance, the
following procedure is suggested:
USING THE WELL DRY
Heating is by hot air. The element which heats the air is
adjusted by a control knob, located on the control panel, which
may be varied to meet the individual requirements.
(a) Pre-heat the well on full for approximately 30 minutes and
place empty containers in all sections to prevent heat loss.
Once the well has reached the desired operating temperature
place the gastronorm containers and their contents into
position. Place containers in any unused sections to prevent
heat loss.
(c) Many factors will determine the best control knob position,
such as the amount and temperature of the food loaded.
Experience from using the Bain Marie will soon show the best
setting for any given occasion.
Please remember a Bain Marie is not designed to heat up or
cook food, but is designed to maintain it at a satisfactory
temperature before serving.
USING THE WET WELL
Heating is by steam. The element which heats the water is
adjusted by a control knob, located on the control panel, which
may be varied to meet the individual requirements.
(a) Fill the well with hot water to the depth indicated on the
inside of the well.
(b) Pre-heat the well on full for approximately 30 minutes and
place empty containers in all sections to prevent heat loss.
Once the well has reached the desired operating temperature
place the gastronorm containers and their contents into
position. Place containers in any unused sections to prevent
heat loss.
(c) Many factors will determine the best control knob position,
such as the amount and temperature of the food loaded.
Experience from using the Bain Marie will soon show the best
setting for any given occasion.

GANTRY
Each tier of the gantry is fitted with quartz heat lamps; these are
controlled by on/off switch(es) located on the gantry. Quartz
lamps are easily replaceable. Proceed as follows:
Use a piece of tissue paper to hold the bulb.
Bulbs must not be touched with bare fingers, as this will cause
them to fail prematurely.
(a) Turn off power to the unit.
(b) Remove the guard. Push the bulb to one side of the sprung
loaded holder, and allow the free end to drop, and remove.
(c) Reverse this process to fit, ensuring that the bulb is held
firmly within the sprung loaded holder.
ADJUSTING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
(a) Press and hold the left hand side button (i). The display will
change to the set point temperature.
(b) Keep the (i) button pressed. Use the centre up down (^/v)
buttons to select the desired temperature within the preset
range.
(c) Once the desired set point is reached, release all buttons
and the display will revert to measured temperature.
4. CLEANING
Switch off the unit at the mains before cleaning.
Stainless steel surfaces will give you many years of trouble-free
use as long as you follow a few simple rules. If it appears to
mark do not worry, it is usually not the steel but something
deposited on it which has stained.
Wash all surfaces before use:
You should use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or soap, or
similar cleaner. Always rinse well with clean water and dry the
surface with a soft cloth. Clean regularly when in use. Do use
soft cloths, nylon or bristle brushes.
Do not use:
Metal scrapers, wire brushes or wire wool pads as they can
scratch the steel. Do take care when handling sharp objects as
they can scratch the surface of stainless steel. Any scratches on
stainless steel will blend together over a period of time and
become less noticeable with age. There is no detriment to the
corrosion resistance or general performance of the material.
Do not use:
Bleach for cleaning purposes (remember dishwasher powders,
sterilising agents and similar products all contain chlorides). If
used, black pit marks, large brown patches or other such effects
may appear and permanent damage may be caused. If used
inadvertently rinse immediately with clean water.
Do not splash the unit with bleach when cleaning around
the counter:
If you do, rinse the surface immediately with clean water
thoroughly.
Do not allow:
Corrosive foodstuffs such as fruit juices, vinegar, mustards,
pickles, mayonnaise, etc., to remain on stainless steel for long
periods. Wash and rinse away.
(d) Top up the water, to the depth indicated, as required during
service.
(e) In the interest of hygiene, empty and clean the well
regularly. The water may be drained off using the drain valve
provided. Rotate the swivel arm under the valve over a bucket
and open the valve slowly. Any residual water will need to be
wiped toward the drain using a cloth. (Please wait until the
water is cool!) Clean thoroughly once empty, taking care to
wipe off any cleaner used. Rotate the swivel arm back into the
cupboard and close the valve.
Please remember a Bain Marie is not designed to heat up or
cook food, but is designed to maintain it at a satisfactory
temperature before serving.
HOT CUPBOARD
This section is controlled electronically at around 70ºC. Just
switch on. To obtain the best performance, pre-heat the Hot
cupboard empty for 30 minutes.
Stacked plates take a long time to heat through completely.
Please remember: A Hot Cupboard is not designed to heat up or
cook food, but is designed to maintain it at a satisfactory
temperature before serving.
HEATED DRAWERS (where purchased)
The Heated Drawers are controlled electronically at around
85ºC. Just switch on. To obtain the best performance, the
following procedure is suggested:
(a) Pre-heat the Heated Drawers empty for 30 minutes.
(b) Load the containers, with lids, into the Heated Drawers as
required. Place containers, with lids, in any unused sections to
maintain even air flow within the Heated Drawer cabinet.
Please remember : The Heated Drawers are not designed to heat
up or cook food, but are designed to maintain it at a satisfactory
temperature before serving.
WATER BOILING WELL (MULTI BOILER)
The boiling temperature is controlled electronically at around
98ºC. Just switch on. To obtain the best performance, the
following procedure is suggested:
(a) Before switching the well on ensure that there is a minimum
of 150mm of water in the well. Boiling the well dry will reduce
the element life in the well.
(b) Allow approximately 25 minutes (depending on starting
water temperature) for the water within the well to reach
boiling point.
(c) After use, switch off the power to the well.
(d) The well can be drained by rotating the swivel arm over a
bucket. Open the drain valve slowly and allow the water to
discharge into the bucket. Take care as the water may still be
hot. Do not over fill the bucket.
(e) When the well is empty, the stainless steel dole plate in the
bottom of the well may be removed to aid cleaning, take care
not to damage the elements in the base of the well.
Important: Remember to close the drain valve before refilling
the boiling well.

Do not leave:
Steel objects or utensils standing on the stainless steel surfaces
for long periods. They can rust and leave marks.
After cleaning with detergent always remove residues with a
wet cloth and wipe dry, if left they can have an etching effect
on the surface.
REMOVING AND REPLACING TOP HUNG DOORS
(Where purchased)
(a) Remove the door bar from the bottom of the doors, by
lifting one end up and removing.
(b) Grip the sides of the outer door and hinge out (1) until the
door can be lifted off the track (2) and removed from the
cupboard (3), repeat with the second door.
(c) Reverse the process to reattach the doors ensuring that the
correct door is refitted first, ensure the doors are fitted correctly
by sliding them left to right.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE DRAWERS FOR CLEANING
(a) Undo the black thumb screws located on the sides of the
drawers.
(b) Lift out the entire drawer.
(c) Repeat this process for each drawer.
(d) Reverse the process to replace the drawers.
Correctly applied the instructions will result in continuous good
looks!
5. MAINTENANCE & SPARES
It is advisable to lubricate the doors once or twice a year with
petroleum jelly in order to keep them sliding smoothly.
Remove the doors (as above in cleaning) and put a small
amount of lubricant on the wheel / track that is fixed to the
door. Replace the door and slide from side to side for an even
distribution of the lubricant.
You should have the various items in your unit tested for
electrical safety at least once a year as required by the Electricity
at Work Regulations.
