Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Power Connection: Position the angled glass bain marie on a sturdy, level counter or optional Bonvue BMT trolley. Plug into a dedicated 240V 15A wall socket. If operating in wet mode, fill the well with warm water up to the marked maximum water level line before switching on power.

2. Pre-Heating & Temperature Control: Turn on the analogue thermostat (+35°C to +85°C) and overhead lamps. Wait for the temperature reach indication light to illuminate before inserting GN pans filled with pre-heated food products.

3. End-of-Shift Sanitisation & Drainage: Turn off and unplug the unit. Allow water in the tank to cool safely before placing a bucket or drain hose beneath the rear safety-lock ball valve and opening the lever. Remove pan dividers to wash separately. Wipe down the 304 stainless steel tank, glass panels, and sliding doors using a soft microfiber cloth and mild food-safe sanitiser.
