Stainless Steel Warmer (Item #1169)

Designed to take a container of cooked food from a chilled state (below 40.0 F [4.4 C]) through the HACCP “danger zone” of 165 F (73.9 C) in less than 90 minutes. The performance standard is measured using the NSF mixture chilled to 35 F (1.7 C). The electric unit will raise the temperature of this product above 165 F (73.9 C) in less than 90 minutes. The temperature will be maintained above 150 F (65.6 C) when the food product and pan or inset are used with a standard pan or inset cover, the proper water level is maintained in the well, and the food product is stirred regularly. The heating element is in direct contact with the water for the most efficient heat transfer possible

> Thermoset fiber-reinforced self-insulating resin well provides maximum energy efficiency, prevents scale build-up and is easy to clean.

> Cast-in non-stick aluminum dome heating element uses up to 25% less energy and reduces scale build-up for easy cleaning and longer operating life.

> Low-water indicator light eliminates guesswork.

> Recessed controls reduce accidental changes in temperature settings.

> Capillary tube thermostat control supplies constant temperature and power only when needed for maximum power efficiency.

> Wide dripless lip catches and drains moisture back into the well and creates more uniform fit with food pans and insets.

> Stainless steel exterior meets UL surface temperature standards for operator and customer safety and concentrates heat inside the well, not to the outside surface and rim.

> Drop-in meets NSF4 performance standards only when using moist heat. Operation with water is required for even heating of the food product.

> Non-skid feet help keep unit from sliding on countertop.

> Bottom exit 6 ft. (183 cm) power cord adapts to receptacle location for safe installation and allows for 360˚ control placement.

Stainless steel is known for being corrosion-resistant, but that doesn't mean it is incapable of showing rust.  If the stainless steel is exposed to damaging chemicals, or is submerged in water or exposed to extreme heat for extended periods of time, this can lead to corrosion.

Therefore, we recommend the following when cleaning and caring for your stainless steel items: 

Remember to use soft cloths or other non-abrasive pads when cleaning and scrubbing your stainless steel items. Stainless steel items will have visible polishing marks on the surfaces; you should scrub in direction of the polishing marks. If the polishing marks cannot be seen, simply use a soft cloth or plastic scouring pad.
 

If your cleaning solution contains chlorides, switch to an alternative. Work with alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners. To avoid pitting and rusting, don't use cleaners containing quaternary salts.

Always rinse, then wipe down your stainless steel items when chlorinated cleaners are used. Ensure the stainless steel items are dried immediately. Do not leave them wet. Wipe off the leftover water immediately. This is specifically important when it contains cleaning agents.

Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) should never be used on stainless steel items.

Proper longterm maintenance also involves regularly restoring, or passivating the stainless steel.
