Safety Rules when Operating the Meister Cook Hot Hold®:

Read the Operator’s Manual. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons. The following is only a selection of important safety rules outlined in the Operator’s Manual. This section does not substitute the reading of the entire Operator’s Manual.

Lifting the Hot Hold®: When lifting or moving the Meister Cook Hot Hold®, please ask others for help. The more than 60 lbs heavy Hot Hold® should always be lifted or moved by two people to avoid injuries.

Do Not Place Liquids On or Near Hot Hold®: This is to avoid spillage and potential electric shortage.

Do not Expose the Hot Hold® to Wet Conditions: Do not expose the Hot Hold®, including its cord and plug to water, splashing water or other liquids. Water or other liquids entering the Hot Hold® will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not Overfill the Food Pans in the Hot Hold®: The food hold temperatures and times in the Hot Hold® were designed for properly filled food pans. Furthermore, overflowing food in food pans may disturb the warm airflow curtain above the food, especially for dry/crispy food. Overfilling food pans could also damage food and hurt its desirable appearance, creating a negative customer experience. By having food pans overflow, pieces of food may break off and enter the air intake of the Hot Hold®, reducing its operational lifetime.

Required Clearance of the Hot Hold®: To ensure proper operation, servicing, cleaning, and maintenance, the Hot Hold® must be installed with the following minimum clearances: 2” (5.1 cm) on back, 1” (2.5 cm) to the left and right of the Hot Hold®.
