What is the safety signal light? Can this warming tray be left on for more than 24 hours?

the light just lets you know that it is on. and yes i have left it on for longer without incident.

The safety signal light is to the bottom right hand side of the tray and turns on once the tray is hot. The manufacturer does not specify a time limit to how long the tray can be on for, they do specify that this is only meant to keep entrees warm while preparing other foods or to be used as an attractive alternative to serving warm desserts. However, for safety purposes we would not recommend leaving this tray on for 24 hours.

No you can't just leave it on. There is no real on and off switch for that. BUT it does turn on once movement is detected. It is very sensitive. Right now, mine is set for movement up to about 50'. I don't know how long it will run with constant movement. Light is very bright. I was impressed for a solar LED light. It is excellent when used as a security light or when needing help to find your way in the dark. Only had it up for about a month so can't say much about how long it will last.

I have never left it on overnight. The short time I have left it on it didn't heat up at all. Not sure what would happen if left on for extended periods.

The heater can stay on for 24 hours however I do not run mine for more than 12hours at a time

no setting, but you can leave it plugged in/on for as long as you want. for 24 hour (SCD) yogurt you need to buy a dimmer switch because it gets too hot after about 6 hours

manufacturer response: The unit has CE listing under European Union safety guidelines. My warming tray is CE listed since it is also sold to largest commercial catering supplies company in Germany and therefore designed, wired and assembled as a glass warming tray under strict safety guidelines. The box and the product are labeled as such with the CE mark.

I know that we have left ours on for at the most three days straight with no issues. But I'm unsure what the manufacturer would recommend as normal use, my suggestion is that you check with Econo-Heat on this question.

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

You can leave it on forever.ine has been on for more than 6 months but you cannot turn off the LEDs.Alan

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

in my experience I haven't left it for more than 10hrs but for the 10hrs I left it was pretty stable sticking to the temperature. I see no reason why not for 24.

Keep a spare set in you range bag. If you forget to turn off the switch, the unit goes off automatically in 4 hours.

I don't think I would worry about leaving it on overnight. We had it running for 8 hours at a time. The wire that burned out did not cause any problems other than making the unit inoperable.

I would offer that after the unit has been on for awhile on high, it is hot enough to cause burns to skin (if the skin were to be held on the unit for more than a second). It is a very effective unit for keeping items warm and overall is the best warming tray we have had.

No, since the warmer has a switch that automatically goes off after (some time?/temperature reached?). You HAVE to actually do two button presses to start the warmer (one to reset, one to start). It would be unfeasible (do to difficulty to disassemble) to work around this. Would probably also result in safety hazard. FWIW--I like it, but have poor reliability. Last one I purchased I purchased the extend warranty.

I've had mine on for about 45 minutes now and it is just warm to my touch. I would say it doesn't get "hot," and can safely be used at kids' bedside, but probably should not be used under the covers, as kids sometimes like to do. I really like mine because of its safety and brightness. My only (and small) complaint is that I wish it had an on-off button embedded in the dimmer because it takes a full turn of the dial to turn it off and on.

I've used this for over a year in an outdoor tortoise enclosure (the lamp is inside their "house") and I do use a ceramic heat emitter for night time heat. It is obviously not on at the same time as the basking lamp in the other socket. I haven't had any issues.
