This document describes the Nemco 6100A 7 Qt. Round Soup Warmer and 6102A 7 Qt. Round Cooker Warmer, which include 120 Volt and 220 Volt, and ICL models. This appliance is designed for commercial use in food service environments, specifically for holding hot food at safe temperatures. It operates by heating water in a well, which in turn warms an inset containing the food product. This "wet operation" method is crucial for maintaining safe food temperatures, ensuring even heat distribution, lowering operating costs, and providing longer, trouble-free service.
Before using the appliance, it is essential to read and understand all instructions to ensure safe and proper operation. When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury. The machine should be thoroughly cleaned before and after each use, following the provided cleaning instructions.
For electrical requirements, the warmer must be plugged into a grounded outlet with the correct voltage and sufficient power capacity. Users should refer to the product label (serial plate) on the warmer for specific voltage and wattage requirements.
Safety is paramount when operating this appliance. All power must be disconnected at the power source before any service procedure is performed. The appliance becomes hot during use, so direct skin contact with hot surfaces should be avoided to prevent burns. Combustible materials, such as drapes and other furnishings, must be kept away from the appliance. Extreme caution is necessary when the appliance is used near children or left unattended. The appliance should always be unplugged when not in use, before cleaning, or before servicing. To disconnect, controls should be turned off, and the plug removed from the power source.
Never operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if it has malfunctioned, been dropped, or damaged. The appliance is not designed for outdoor use or wet/moist locations and should never be placed where it could fall into water. It must only be connected to properly grounded outlets, and extension cords should not be used. The power cord should not be run under carpeting, runners, or similar coverings, and it should be arranged away from traffic areas to prevent tripping hazards.
This appliance is equipped with a three-blade power cord, which must be plugged ONLY into a matching three-blade outlet. The third blade should not be cut or broken off, nor should a two-blade extension cord be used. To prevent fire, it is recommended that the unit be placed on a non-combustible surface. The appliance contains electrical parts and should not be used in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
A critical safety warning concerns electric shock: the water in the well must be kept at the recommended level. If the water level is too high, water may overflow when food containers are inserted, potentially entering the electrical compartment and causing a short circuit or electric shock. Hot water and steam in the well can cause burns, so protective gloves, mitts, or potholders should be used when removing food containers or covers. Hot food and water can also cause burns, requiring careful handling.
Before operation, the warmer should be set on a flat, stable surface near the power source and thoroughly cleaned. Then, 2-1/3 cups of water should be poured into the well. The appliance must never be operated without water in the well. If the warmer fails to work properly upon first operation, Nemco customer service should be contacted.
To operate the warmer, plug the cord into a grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage. Electrical shock can occur if the appliance is not grounded. Preheat the water in the well by covering the well with an empty food container or cover and setting the heat control knob to the maximum heat setting. Once preheated, place the stainless steel food container (inset) into the warmer and cover it with a lid. It is crucial to remember that food products must never be placed directly into the warmer well; they must always be placed in an inset.
For hot food holding, set the heat control knob to the desired temperature. Food temperatures should be closely monitored for safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends holding food above 140 degrees F to prevent the growth of microorganisms. The inset must be covered to maintain temperatures when food is not being served. During normal operation, periodically remove the container, check the water level, add hot water if necessary, and stir. When not in use, turn the warmer off. To disconnect, turn controls off and remove the plug from the power source.
This warmer is specifically designed for wet operation, which is required to maintain safe food temperatures (NSF), ensure more even heat distribution, lower operating costs, and provide longer, trouble-free service. Insets must be covered to maintain temperature when food is not being served.
Proper maintenance is vital for the life span and functioning of the warmer. To maintain its appearance and increase its service life, the warmer should be cleaned after every use. The water in the well should be changed, and the well cleaned every 24 hours of continuous use. Before cleaning or moving, the cord must be unplugged, and the warmer allowed to cool. Carefully empty the hot water from the well and wipe the well interior with a clean, damp cloth. The appliance must not be immersed in water or other liquid, nor should it be cleaned with a water jet. If soap or chemical cleaners are used, they must be completely rinsed away with clear water immediately after cleansing, as chemical residue could damage the warmer. Chemicals that could harm the warmer should not be used. Steel wool should not be used; instead, nylon pads are recommended. To remove scale, use 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to 1 cup of water, let it stand, rinse, and repeat if necessary.
Troubleshooting tips include checking if the unit is plugged in, if the thermostat is set to the desired heat, and if the well has the correct amount of water if the unit won't heat. If the product is cold or not at temperature, adjust the thermostat to increase the temperature. If the product is too hot, adjust the thermostat to decrease the temperature. If the unit blows a fuse or circuit breaker, check to ensure the circuit is not overloaded.
For repairs, to avoid serious injury or damage, users should not attempt to repair the warmer or replace a damaged power cord themselves. All repairs must be coordinated through Nemco Food Equipment customer service.
