OPERATION
General
The THERM-Max Salamander is equipped with two main
functions, COOK and HOlD. On both models, the COOK
function uses the full intensity of the overhead, "instant on"
heating elements to cook food. On TMS-1H models, the HOlD
function operates the overhead heating elements at a lower
intensity to maintain the cooking temperature reached during
the cooking cycle.
Use the following information and procedures to operate the
THERM-MAX Salamander.

The timer knob is used to set the timer for the desired COOK
time from 1 MIN to 10 MIN (one to ten minutes) . When the
timer knob is in the OFF position, the elements are disabled for
the COOK function. Turning the timer knob clockwise energizes
the selected elements for the desired amount of COOK time.
