Operating & Cleaning Guidelines
-
Setup & Pan Placement: Roll the mobile bain marie into position on a level surface and engage the castor brakes. Connect to a single-phase 240V power outlet. Ensure all 5 x GN 1/1 pan slots (or fractional combinations) and divider rails are fully fitted across the deck before powering on.
-
Pre-Heating & Holding Operation: If operating wet, fill the well with water to submerge elements before turning on power. Turn the analogue thermostat dial (+35°C to +85°C) and switch on the overhead halogen lamps. Wait for the temperature reach light to illuminate before placing pre-heated hot food pans into the well.
-
End-of-Shift Sanitisation: Turn off and unplug the unit. Allow the well and halogen lamps to cool completely. Drain the water well safely, remove pan dividers to clean separately, and wipe down the stainless steel body, glass canopy, and sliding doors using a soft cloth and mild food-safe sanitiser.
