The water pan runs dry quickly or is difficult to keep filled during long cooks.

Safety first: Use heat-resistant gloves when handling the water pan during operation.

Steps to manage water level:

• Inspect water pan: Remove and check for rust holes, warping, or leaks. Replace if it cannot hold water reliably.
• Fill with hot water: Starting with hot water reduces the time the element spends boiling it off.
• Monitor temperature: Extremely high cabinet temperatures will evaporate water quickly; adjust set temperature as needed.
• Consider a larger pan: If your model allows, use a deeper Landmann-compatible water pan to increase capacity.
