y Set the thermostat (optimal temperature 60°C).
y Preheat for 15 minutes.
y Insert the plates and put the lid back on. If the plates are cold when loaded, it will take 2 hours for them to reach 60°C.
y When at maximum temperature, lift the lid by the round handle. Both the lid and the top may be scalding hot.
y When serving, you may put the lid on its support (Fig.1- page 2)
y Set the enclosure(s) in use to 80°C.
y Allow to preheat for 30 mins.
y Insert food that has already been heated.
y The lid has three positions:
- Pulled entirely towards the front, thereby completely covering the bain-marie's tub.
- Half open. This position allows for serving. The user has access to the containers and may place plates on top of the lid.
- Open vertically. This position allows for cleaning and for the containers to be filled. At this point, the lid may be taken off the
appliance. The two parts are separable and can be put through a dish-washer.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
y When turned on, nothing lights up
- Check power supply.
- Check that the illuminated switch is on 1.
y Part of the appliance does not heat up
- Check thermostat's settings
- The safety thermostat cut the appliance off. Contact your retailer.
y In the case of any other problems, please contact your retailer.
CLEANING
y Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance.
y The tub can be cleaned with a low-pressure water stream.
y The plate dispenser, the inside, and the outside may not be washed with a low pressure water stream. Use a sponge.
y Products to use: soapy water on the control panel.
y Allow the appliance to cool down before re-use.
y General information on stainless steel : The term "stainless steel" can cause some confusion. It is steel which "resists" to corrosion in
certain conditions.
Any type of stainless steel can be corroded:
- austenitic, e.g. "stainless steel 304" also called 18/10.
- ferritic, e.g. "F17" or "F18TNb".
Resistance to corrosion of stainless steel results from the existence of a passive layer of chromium oxide which is renewed sponta-
neously when in contact with the air. Any phenomenon interfering with the creation of this layer is likely to cause corrosion.
This is why stainless steel surfaces must be regularly rid of miscellaneous contamination which may damage the level of resistance
of the passive layer, and also ensure the maintenance steps are observed. (Preparation to cleaning / cleaning / rinsing / disinfection /
rinsing / drying).
Regular maintenance with extended rinsing with water is the best method to renew and maintain the passive layer.
Each of the steps linked with maintenance presents risks of damaging the passive layer: using hard water / overdosing detergents / using
chlorine-based detergents / food residue on the products / insufficient rinsing.....
Whenever corrosion appears, the element or step having led to it must be identified.
y Advice :
- maintain stainless steel surfaces clean and dry. Ensure there is a sufficient flow of air.
- clean daily to remove scale, grease and any food residue. Corrosion can form under these layers by lack of air inlet.
- daily cleaning can be performed with a damp cloth. If necessary :
* use soapy water, cleaning products with low chloride content, javel-free detergents, window degreasers.
* remove hard stains with a non metallic brush (plastic material, natural bristles or stainless steel wool).
- do not scratch the surfaces with metals other than stainless steel, and more particularly, never use iron brushes.
- remove fresh rust stains with soft abrasive agents or fine emery cloth.
- for larger stains, use hot oxalic acid with a 2-3% concentration. If necessary, apply a treatment with nitric acid concentrated at
10%.
After treatment, wash thoroughly with water and wipe.
The use of acid is reserved to skilled persons and complying with regulations.
y Product to ban :
- Javel water and chlorine based products
- hydrochloric acid
- iron oxide abrasive powders.
MAINTENANCE
y Call after-sales service for all maintenance.
y Power cable should be replaced by an accredited after-sales service agent.
