Hotel Breakfast Services: Used to keep breakfast items like scrambled eggs, baked beans, or porridge warm for extended periods during breakfast buffets.
Fill with Water: Ensure the bain marie is unplugged. Fill each well with water up to the indicated "max" fill line, ensuring the water level is below the top of the food containers when placed inside.
Place Food Containers: Insert the appropriate-sized gastronorm containers (GN pans, typically not included) with your pre-cooked food into the wells. Ensure the containers are sitting securely in the water.
Power On & Set Temperature: Plug the bain marie into a suitable electrical outlet. Turn the individual temperature control knobs to the desired warming temperature for each well. Indicator lights will show when heating is active.
Monitor & Serve: Allow the unit to heat up and reach the set temperature. Periodically stir food in the containers to ensure even warming. Serve food directly from the containers as needed, replenishing as necessary.
Daily Water Change & Cleaning: After use and once cooled, drain the water from both wells. Wash the interior of the wells with hot, soapy water, rinsing thoroughly to remove any residue.
Exterior Wipe-Down: Wipe down the entire stainless steel exterior and control panel daily with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain hygiene and a clean appearance.
Descaling: Periodically descale the water wells to remove mineral buildup (limescale), especially in areas with hard water. Use a commercial descaling solution or a vinegar-water mixture, following product instructions, and rinse thoroughly.
Cord & Plug Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the unit is always stored in a clean, dry place when not in use.
