The chart on page 4 will give the specific model you have as well as provide additional statistical information. All units consist of a stainless steel well or receptacle that is heated by a tubular heating element. They are designed to accomodate standard food inserts and are capable of storing one or more food products. [. . . ] Controls Controls for Food Warmers vary for different models and the features or intended use of it. A food warmer doesn't require extensive operator interface but the following information should be made available to them. Some of the Food Warmers use a positive off position on the thermostat. When the unit is on the full range of temperatures described are available for operating. Heat N' Hold has a temperature range of 90 to 210 degrees with a positive "off" position. This unit does use a low water alarm to alert the operator to add water. All the other models of Food Warmers use an eight position control including a positive off position. PAGE2 Toastmaster ® COUNTERTOP FOODWARMERS B. Normal Operation (all modes except 1527H and 1527TH) Be sure the control knob is set in the "OFF" position, then energize the unit at the main disconnect. For wet applications fill the unit with approximately 1" of Hot water and turn the control knob disal to the high position for 25 to 30 minutes. Always keep insert pans in place or cover the unit to conserve heat and to prevent water evaporation. Most units should operate approximately 24 hours before the need to add water. Remember, never place food items directly in the receptacle without the use of the insert pan(s). For dry applications, merely set the insert vessel into the food warmer. Models 1527H & 1527TH "Heat N' Hold" As mentioned earlier these models only require approximately 18 minutes to heat the water and the food in the insert pan. This model is designed for the purpose of heating the food and then holding it at the serving temperature you desire. After approximately 18 minutes turn the control knob to a minimum of 150°F for holding. Always keep the heating element covered with water to insure proper heat transfer. "Dry" running of the unit will substantially lower the temperature in the insert pan. Do not overfill or the the water will boil and splash out over the side. Common uses of the "Heat N' Hold" units are soup, chili, hot chocolate or vegetables. [. . . ] Hi-Temperature Thermostat - (bi-metal type) turns buzzer on when water boils.
