OPERATION: F14EI & 48300 SERIES (ELECTRIC)
Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the
temperature knob to “10” and heat the well for 20 to 30 minutes.
Do not be alarmed if smoke appears; this preheat should burn off
any residue or dust on the heating element.
When using thick sauces always operate the hot food well filled
with water. This will provide a more uniform temperature for the
sauce.
Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some
type of protective covering on your hands and arms
when removing lids or pans from the unit. Lift the lid
or pan in a way that will direct escaping steam away
from your face and body.
Never place food directly into the well. Always use
pans.
Although these models may be operated either with or without
water in the wells, wet operation is recommended.
Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food
from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.
For most efficient operation when empty, keep covered insets in
each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.
Do not put food down drain.
Wet operation
1) Fill food well with two inches of water. For quicker
pre-heating, use hot water to fill the well.
2) Turn the control to “HIGH” and pre-heat the warmer
for 30 minutes.
3) After pre-heating, set the control to your desired
serving temperature.
Dry operation
1) Pre-heat the well on “HIGH” for approximately 15
minutes.
2) After pre-heating, set the control to your desired
serving temperature.
Only 6” (15.2cm) deep insets should be used with a dry food well.
When operated dry, the bottom of the food well will discolor. A
mild abrasive cleaner is recommended to clean this discoloration.

OPERATION: F14EW SERIES (ELECTRIC)
These units must be operated with water in the well. If operated
dry, a low water safety switch will interrupt the electric supply
to the heater to prevent heater failure. If the low water safety
switch shuts off power, turn the control to the OFF position. If the
water level is below the heating element, allow the well to cool
completely, then refill with water. Reactivate the well by turning the
control ON and resetting to the previous temperature.
Continuous interruption of power due to a low water level may
disable the heater permanently. Pouring water on a hot heating
element will damage it.
